How funny, its spelled braciole, promounced brajole!. Ill send the site, and it even says it was on "everybody loves raymond"Www@FoodAQ@Com
You are correct in your thin comments!. I have made it several times!. The trick is to slice the steak thin before pounding it slightly thinner!. Round is the most popular cut but i have made it with flank as well!.
Once I get the beef to the desired thickness, I salt and pepper it, sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese, parsley and a thin slice of prosciutto and then roll it up and tie it with kitchen string
Saute it in 1/2 butter 1/2 oil (to get the smoke point of the butter up) until brown on all sides!.
Add 1 cup of beef stock and cover and cook under very low heat!.
Add 1 can of good quality plum tomatoes (broken up) or crushed tomatoes
Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Continue cooking under very low heat for about 1 1/2 hours
Test for salt and serve with penne pasta on the side (with the sauce)Www@FoodAQ@Com
