Stephanie & Tony's Table: Brasciole And Pasta Sauce
BRASCIOLE:
1/2 White Onion (diced)
2 Garlic Cloves (chopped)
1/8 c. Shredded Parmesan
1/2 c. Bread Crumbs
2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 lb. Flank Steak
4 Prosciutto Slices
4 c. Tomato Sauce
4 oz. Parsley
Preparation:
In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil with garlic and onions. Once garlic begins to soften remove from heat.
Meanwhile, lay meat out, and pound very thin. Lay the prosciutto over the meat.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese, bread crumbs and parsley then sprinkle on top of prosciutto. Layer the onion mixture over the bread crumbs leaving about 1/2 inch border on the edges.
Grab the steak from the bottom, and slowly roll it up and tie it with a kitchen twine. Drop into remaining olive oil and brown on all sides, then add in sauce and continue to cook for a few hours.
(NOTE: Prep times can vary by equipment. Be sure to check that meat is fully cooked.)
