Directions
The Best Braciole, This is Giada DeLaurentis’s recipe from her book Everyday Italian, and it is so wonderful. She does suggest to be creative with the flavorings by using different herbs or cheeses, if you’d like. This is sure to impress. The recipe looks a little lengthy, but it is not complicated or difficult. And don’t worry if some of the stuffing falls out during the browning – just spoon it back in if you can, or let it blend into the sauce. It will be great. NOTE: I made 4 of these for a large gathering, browning them in a skillet, then baking them in a 11×15 pan 2 1/2 hrs mostly covered, 30 more minutes uncovered. For this much, you only need 2 or 3 times the wine and sauce, not 4 times., My Italian mother used to use round steak and addition to all the cheeses, bread crumbs, garlic and fresh parsley, she used to add sliced hard boiled egg. Rather than cooking by itself, we used to brown out and then add to our Sunday sauce. Sometimes, if I do not have round or flank steak on hand, use the meatball mixture and roll with the same ingredients. The hard boiled egg presents well for guests., braciole was always in our sunday sauce along with meatballs, and pork/lamb with bones. The beef was always sliced thin, and never used breadcrumbs. The recipe here is more like stuffed flank steak, which was an occasional dish, but not cooked in sauce.
