Buca Di Beppo Sunday Rolled Stuffed Beef (Braciole) image

I was looking for a Braciole Recipe from Calabria, and was happy when I stumbled across this one. It is a bit ambitious for a week night, but if you use Alton Brown's quick cook method* for Braciole it can be done.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
1/4 cup garlic, chopped
3 ounces pecorino romano cheese, grated
3 tablespoons parsley, fresh chopped
3 eggs
1 lb flank steak
4 hard-boiled eggs
6 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 lb cavatelli

Steps:

  • Mix the bread crumbs, garlic, Pecorino Romano cheese, parsley and eggs. Set aside.
  • Pound the flank steak until it is 1/4 inch thick (or ask your butcher to prepare it for you!).
  • Flatten stuffing onto the middle of the steak from end to end.
  • Lay the whole hard boiled eggs over the stuffing, roll up the steak like a salami and secure with string. Set aside.
  • In a large pan, bring the Marinara Sauce to a boil, lower the heat, and add the braciola covering it in sauce.
  • Cook with lid on for 1 hour or until the sauce is thick, stirring regularly.
  • Remove the braciola and set aside. Add the cream to the sauce and keep warm over very low heat.
  • Cook pasta until al dente, drain and toss with the sauce. Place pasta on a large platter. Remove the string from the braciola. Slice braciola into 1-inch thick pieces arrange over pasta and serve.
  • *Alton Brown browns the rolls and then places in hot marinara in a foil tented baking dish at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
