Best Braised Beef Roll Csaky Style Recipes

BRAISED BEEF ROLLS (BRACIOLE DI MANZO)

Steps:

• To make the stuffing: Place the bread cubes and milk into a medium bowl and stir for full coverage. Let soak until bread is very soft (at least 20 minutes).
• Drain the bread, squeeze out the excess milk, and return bread to the bowl. Stir in the chopped egg, parsley, grated cheese, raisins and garlic. Lightly salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
• For the beef rolls: With the toothed side of a heavy meat mallet, pound each slice of beef round to a thickness of about 1/4" and about 5 to 6" wide, 6-7" long.
• Top each with a slice of the prosciutto and tap with fingertips to lightly adhere to the beef. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the stuffing over the beef slice, leaving a 1" border around the edges.
• Place one stick of the provolone across the short end on top of the stuffing and fold the short end over the top of it. Fold the side borders in to overlap the edges of the stuffing, then roll the beef into as compact of a tube as possible. Secure the end of flap with one or two toothpicks. Repeat with remaining beef and stuffing. Lightly salt and pepper the rolls.
• Empty the tomatoes into a medium bowl and squeeze them with your hands until they are coarsely crushed, removing the core and ends if there are any.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy casserole (I used a dutch oven) over medium heat. When the oil is hot, stir in the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the braciole into a single layer and cook, turning the braciole every 2-3 minutes until all sides are lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Adjust the heat to prevent the beef from scorching.
• Add the wine to the pot and bring to a boil. Cook until most of it has evaporated. Stir in the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add tomato paste and bay leaves and stir until the paste is dissolved. Season with the red pepper flakes and lightly salt.
• Adjust the heat to very low or simmer setting until the liquid is at a low simmer, adding water as necessary to keep the braciole completely submerged. Allow to simmer uncovered until the beef is tender, about 3 hours, checking, stirring, and turning every 15-20 minutes and adding liquid to cover braciole if needed (use very hot tap water or pasta water).
• Carefully remove the toothpicks before serving (they're hot!). Lidia says the braciole can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, then warmed over low heat until heated through.

BEEF ROLL

Steps:

• For the braised beef: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Then add the beef shanks, browning deeply on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Add the ginger, dried chiles and scallions and saute until fragrant. Add the soy sauce, wine, sugar, cloves, fennel, white pepper, star anise, cardamom and cinnamon stick. Return the beef to the pot, add enough water to cover and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook gently until tender when pierced with a fork, about 2 hours.
• Shred the beef with forks and set aside. Reserve 6 tablespoons of the braising liquid and mix with the hoisin sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
• For the wraps: Combine the flour, water and oil and knead until smooth and pliable, about 5 minutes; the dough should be slightly tacky. Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 10 to 15 minutes. The resting is important, don't skip it!
• Roll the dough out into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle and then roll into a log. Cut into 6 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, press down on your small piece of dough and roll into a circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Stretch each circle out until you can see light coming through the dough. Set aside with a damp cloth on top. When ready to use, heat up a little oil on a griddle or large saute pan over medium- high heat; the pan should be hot but not smoking. Place the wrap in the pan and cook until golden brown on one side. Then flip and cook until just cooked on the other side. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
• To assemble: Brush 1 tablespoon of the hoisin sauce evenly onto the less cooked side of the wrap. Evenly layer the beef onto the wrap. Add the cilantro, cucumber and scallions. Roll up, slice and enjoy!

BRAISED BEEF ROLLS

Steps:

• Pour the milk over the bread cubes in a bowl, and let soak while you slice the beef.
• Slice the beef into 2-to-3-ounce slices (ideally, you want twelve pieces). Pound the slices all over with a mallet to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. If slices tear, don't worry-you can patch as necessary, by overlapping the torn pieces of meat.
• For the filling: Squeeze the excess milk from the bread, and put the bread in a large bowl. Add the parsley, eggs, pine nuts, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt to the bread bowl. Season with pepper.
• Lay the pounded beef slices out flat on your work surface, and season with salt. Evenly divide the filling among the slices, approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons for each slice, then spread to within 1 inch of the edge on all slices. Put a piece of provola cheese lengthwise in the middle of each slice. Roll the slices lengthwise, and pin the rolls closed with toothpicks by pinching the meat.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the braciole with salt, and add to the pot to brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, in batches if necessary. Remove the browned braciole to a plate, and toss the onion into the pot. Cook until the onion is softened, about 4 to 5 minutes, then add the garlic. Cook a minute or two, until the garlic is sizzling, then pour the white wine into the pot. Increase heat, bring to a boil, and cook until the wine is almost evaporated, about 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes. Slosh out the tomato cans with 1 cup hot water each and add that as well. Season with the oregano, peperoncino, and the remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
• Return the sauce to a boil, return the beef rolls to the pot, and adjust the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cover, and cook until the braciole are very tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. If the sauce is too thin, remove the braciole to a plate and reduce the sauce over high heat until it thickens to a gravy consistency.
