BRAISED BRACIOLE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups cubed day-old Italian bread
1 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
1/2 cup grated pecorino-Romano
4 garlic cloves, slivered
1/2 pound copacola, diced
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/2 cup raisins, soaked in warm water to rehydrate then drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
4 pounds veal breast (alternatively may use beef top round)
4 hard boiled eggs, shelled and quartered
1 cup red wine, for braising, optional
Tomato sauce, for braising, optional

Steps:

  • Prepare the bread stuffing by soaking the bread in milk for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess milk with your hands then put the bread in a clean mixing bowl. Add parsley, cheese, garlic, copacola, pine nuts, and raisins. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil to moisten and mix thoroughly.
  • Set the veal on a piece of plastic wrap. Make a deep slice along the veal breast and fan open like a book. Lay another piece of plastic wrap on top. Using the smooth side of a mallet, gently flatten the veal until it's about 1/2-inch thick; take care not to tear. Discard the top sheet of plastic wrap; rub the surface with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing evenly over the meat, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Place the eggs lengthwise down the center of the meat and roll up like a jellyroll log, using the plastic wrap as support. Tie the roll with kitchen string to secure.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Brown the stuffed veal roast well on all sides. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 1 hour.
  • Alternatively, deglaze with red wine, then pour tomato sauce on top to cover the braciole. Cover the pan and gently simmer for about 1 hour until tender.
  • To serve, remove the strings from the veal bundle and cut into 1-inch slices. Arrange on a serving platter, with or without sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or flank steak are good choices, as they have a lot of flavor and can withstand the long braising time.
  • Pound the beef: Pounding the beef helps to tenderize it and makes it more receptive to the marinade.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps to add flavor and moisture.
  • Sear the beef: Searing the beef before braising helps to develop a nice brown crust and lock in the juices.
  • Braising liquid: The braising liquid should be flavorful and aromatic. Good options include beef broth, red wine, tomatoes, and herbs.
  • Slow and low: Braise the beef over low heat for a long period of time. This allows the meat to become tender and fall apart.
  • Serve with a delicious sauce: The braising liquid makes a delicious sauce that can be served over the beef and rice or pasta.
