- Bracciola
-
- The original poster said they had these filled with ground meat. The
- traditional filling is hard boiled eggs and either salt pork or
- pancetta. This is the recipe we use.
-
- 1 good size round steak, bone removed and have the butcher run it
- through the tenderizer about 2 times
-
- 3 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped coarsely
- 1/2 lb salt pork, rind removed and chopped medium fine
- 1 cup grated Italian spaghetti cheese--use parmesan or Romano--we
- use a very hard, aged, salted goat cheese
- 1 good handful of dry crushed basil
- 1 good handful of dry crushed marjoram--I rub the dry herbs between
- my hands to help release the oils of the herbs
- 4-6 large cloves garlic, minced
- pinch of rosemary, if desired
- garlic salt, salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- olive oil
-
- Mix together everything but the meat and the olive oil. Add enough
- olive oil to the mixture to make a wet paste. You can add more or less
- of the filling ingredients to satisfy your taste. Sometimes I use more
- cheese depending on what type of cheese used--or more salt pork. Set
- the filling aside
-
- Cut the steak into three or four evenly sized pieces--or as even as you
- can get. I try to cut along the natural separations of the steak and
- then cut the longer side in half. With the smooth side of the meat
- tenderizer pound the steak pieces as thin as you can. Cut away any fat
- if you want. Spread about 1-3 tablespoons of the filling over each
- piece of steak. Use all the filling.
-
- Roll each piece of steak in whichever direction is the easiest and will
- make a roll about 2 inches in diameter. With heavy string tie the
- rolls in place. Either fry each bracciola until done all around or
- broil. We prefer to broil. This is really just a dietary preference,
- since we don't like fat in our spaghetti sauce. Lightly salt and
- garlic salt each roll as it broils.
-
- Make a very rich spaghetti sauce and add the bracciolas to the sauce.
- Simmer in the sauce for about 1 1/2 hours or until very tender. Remove
- from the sauce and remove the string. Cut into serving size pieces and
- serve with the sauce on the side or with a pasta such as penne or
- rigatoni.
