SPIEDINI
Spiedini means "small meat roll" and they are popular in Italy. My Italian uncle Pete brought his version to family get togethers, and they were always a big hit. The beauty of this entree or appetizer is that it can be modified to your taste with different meats, cheeses and fillings or size. The hardest part is the prep time,...

Steps:
- 1. First, cut the meat to about 4x6" or rectangular shaped pieces. If the meat is about 1/4" thick, you can pound it between wax paper or plastic to tenderize and make it thinner. Then coat each piece with oil on both sides, pile onto a large plate and set aside. Mix the Italian bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a large wide bowl and set aside.
- 2. Second, chop the tomato, place in a bowl and set aside. Chop the onion, place in a bowl and set aside. Have the can of grated Romano set aside with the tomato and onion.
- 3. Next, dredge each piece of meat in the bread crumb mixture on both sides and pile aside onto a large plate.
- 4. Then, set up assembly line style: Take one piece of meat, put a teaspoon of tomato, onion and Romano at the larger end of the meat, fold in sides and roll up into "small meat roll". Pack side by side into a large cookie sheet or large glass rectangle baking dish. Place one bay leaf in between each roll.
- 5. Once the meat rolls are all packed into the baking dish, sprinkle across the tops with salt and pepper to your taste.
- 6. Bake for 20-25 mins at 375-400 degrees. Smaller batches need less time. You can monitor this to see what works best in your oven.
SPIDINI'S
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Take a 2-ounce piece of meat and dip in oil on both sides then press in bread crumbs to coat on both sides. Roll firmly and place in an oiled 2-inch deep casserole dish side by side with sides touching. When all are rolled, place one bay leaf and a half of a onion ring in between each rolled spidini. Place dish uncovered in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit. Cut spidini's into bite size portions discarding the bay leaves.
SPIEDIES
Spiedies are a mainstay sandwich of Binghamton, N.Y., and its surrounding boroughs. They're made of meat marinated for a long time in what amounts to Italian dressing, then threaded onto skewers, grilled, and slid into a cheap sub roll, sometimes with a drizzle of fresh marinade or hot sauce. The recipe that follows calls for beef, but pork or venison can be used almost interchangeably. Marinate for a long time: a full 24 to 36 hours is not uncommon, and results in chunks of meat that are so deeply flavored that they taste great even when slightly overcooked. (If you use chicken, however, reduce the length of time in the marinade, since the meat starts to break down after 12 hours or so.) Serve the spiedies with an additional drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil, on top of Italian bread or alongside rice.

Steps:
- Make the marinade: Whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the meat to the marinade and cover tightly, or place into large, re-sealable plastic bags and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours (or 10 to 12 hours for chicken).
- Build a fire in your grill, leaving about 1/3 of grill free of coals, or set a gas grill to high.
- Remove the meat from its marinade and thread onto metal skewers, or wooden ones that you have soaked in water for 30 minutes or so. The chunks can be placed quite close together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- When coals are covered with gray ash and fire is still quite high (you can hold your hand 5 inches above coals for only a couple of seconds), place the skewers of meat directly over the flames. Allow the meat to cook, undisturbed, for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, then use kitchen tongs to turn them over and repeat on the other side. Continue turning the skewers every couple of minutes until the meat is deeply crisp at its edges, and cooked entirely through, approximately another 5 to 7 minutes. (Remove them to the cool side of the grill if they begin to burn, and cover the grill to allow them to smoke-roast until finished; this is much less likely to happen on a gas grill.)
- Allow the spiedies to rest on a cutting board for a few minutes, then remove the meat from the skewers onto cut hero rolls or a plate. Serve with hot sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For the best results, use a tender cut of beef that is suitable for grilling. Some good options include flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or you can get more creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Skewer the beef: Once the beef is marinated, it's time to skewer it. Cut the beef into 1-inch pieces and then thread them onto skewers. You can use metal skewers or wooden skewers, but make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning.
- Grill the beef: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve the beef: Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the skewers and serve it immediately. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Beef spiedini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your beef spiedini turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give beef spiedini a try!
