BAGATELLE (FRENCH-CANADIAN TRIFLE)



Bagatelle (French-Canadian Trifle) image

The typical bagatelle in La Beauce is a child's delight of Jell-O, white cake, and strawberry jam. This grown-up version, with fresh fruit, custard (instead of Jell-O), and a drizzle of marsala was originally published in Saveur in 2000. It's wonderful to bring to a party; it's really easy and really pretty; and most of the time is chilling time.

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

½ cup bread crumbs
1 cup shredded pecorino romano cheese, plus more for serving
½ cup fresh basil, chopped
⅓ cup shredded provolone cheese
½ cup fresh italian parsley, chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced, divided
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¼ cup olive oil
1 lb flank steak
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 cup dry white wine
28 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
2 dried bay leaves
1 tablespoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lb orecchiette pasta, or polenta, cooked, for serving, optional
¼ cup fresh basil, cut into ribbons, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, pecorino Romano, ½ cup (20 g) chopped basil, provolone, parsley, 5 minced cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, and the olive oil. Stir and set aside.
  • Lay the flank steak on a cutting board. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cover the the meat with a sheet of parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the steak until it's ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  • Remove the parchment and sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak.
  • Starting from the bottom, roll the meat into a log. Using butcher's twine, tie up the roll so it holds its shape while cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the steak roll and, without moving it, cook until a dark brown crust forms on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the roll and repeat until all sides and the ends have been seared. Remove the roll from the pan and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Add the butter, carrot, onion, celery, remaining 3 cloves of garlic, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the white wine and stir to loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Cook until the wine reduces and the pan is slightly dry again.
  • Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
  • Return the beef roll to the pot. Cover and bake for 1 hour, flipping the roll halfway through (if the sauce is drying up too much, add more crushed tomatoes or water), until the beef is tender.
  • Slice the braciole and arrange on a serving platter with the sauce. Serve the braciole with orecchiette or polenta. Garnish with grated pecorino Romano and fresh basil.
  • Enjoy!
