CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound beef, sliced very thin
- 12 cups bread crumbs
- 1/4 pound Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup fresh basil (or to taste)
- 1 1/2 cup canned tomatoes (or use fresh)
- 3/4 cup tomato paste
DIRECTIONS
- Cut the beef into very thin slices, place between 2 pieces of waxed paper and pound thin. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, grated cheese, basil, rolled and secured with toothpicks.
- Brown the braciole. It is then put in a pot with canned tomatoes and tomato paste.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, turning the rolls occasionally, until the beef is tender when pierced with a knife, about 2 hours. Check from time to time to see if the sauce is becoming too dry; add a little water if needed.
