Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 pounds Thinly Sliced Beef Top or Bottom Round, ((6 slices))
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Chopped Basil
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Italian Bread Crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, (divided)
  • 6 slices Prosciutto
  • Kitchen String

Instruction

  • Slice your beef about 1/4-inch thick; then use a meat mallet to pound it out evenly.(Sometimes you can even find the meat already sliced thin at your grocer or ask your local butcher to slice it for you.)
  • In a small bowl, combine the basil, garlic, cheese, bread crumbs and 3 tablespoons of the oil; then mix together to form a paste. 
  • Lay one piece of the beef on a flat clean surface; then spread one tablespoon of the mixture onto the beef and top with one slice of prosciutto. Roll up the meat; then tie together with kitchen string in two places to hold it together. Repeat for the remaining pieces of beef until all have been rolled and tied. 
  • In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium high heat. Once hot, add the braciole and brown on all sides; approximately 5-7 minutes. Add the braciole to your favorite sauce; then allow to simmer on low for at least 30 minutes. (I added my braciole to a larger pot of sauce and cooked it for 2 hours over a low heat.)
