This is my version of that iconic Italian dish "Bracioli". A flank steak is butterflied, pounded thin and spread with garlic, basil, parsley, and olive oil, then add prosciutto and provolone for your "stuffing", the steak is then browned and simmered in marinara sauce! It is to die for! This is not a difficult recipe, but to make it even easier, you could use store-bought traditional marinara, give it a taste and doctor it up with what you think it needs, like more oregano, basil, sugar, salt or garlic. This dish is delicious and impressive, these old recipes have been around for centuries for a reason! Make sure you have some kitchen twine before you start this recipe.
Author: Ruth Guerri
Recipe type: Beef
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 - 6
Ingredients
Sauce
  • olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2½ - 3 cups of tomato puree or marina sauce
  • ½ tsp of salt
Stuffing
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbs of parsley, chopped
  • 2 Tbs of olive oil
  • 3 - 4 oz of thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 4 oz of sliced provolone cheese
Flank Steak
  • 2½ lb flank steak
  • salt & pepper
Instructions
  1. If you are making your own sauce, heat a little olive oil in a skillet and cook the onion for 4-5 minutes, now add the tomato puree and salt, stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. For the flank steak, make a cut through the flank steak, but not all the way through, open it up like a book, flattening it out. Place a piece of parchment on top and pound until thin and even using the flat end of a meat mallet or a rolling pin. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Now, combine the garlic, parsley and olive oil in a small bowl. Now spread this mixture over the entire surface of the steak. Then lay on the prosciutto and then the cheese.
  4. Roll it up starting on the long end and tie it in 5 places, now you have a decision, leave it whole or cut into 1" pinwheels, I personally like to cook it whole, then slice it when done.
  5. Add oil to a large heavy, ovenproof skillet, when the oil is hot, add the flank steak or the pinwheels and brown, 5-6 minutes per side. If you're cooking it whole and it doesn't fit in your skillet, simply cut it in half like I've done. After browning, pour in the marinara sauce and place in the oven.
  6. Bake for about 45 minutes if your baking the whole roll, if you cut it into pinwheels bake for about 15 minutes.
  7. However you do it, it will be spectacular!
