ITALIAN STUFFED BEEF ROLLS
The combination of spinach, artichokes and cream cheese is always a crowd pleaser. Add basil and a roasted red pepper sauce, and you have perfection on a fork! To save time, the stuffed beef filling can be made ahead and chilled. You can also make the sauce ahead and reheat it when you are ready to serve. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

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!

Steps:
- Make the Italian beef: Season the beef with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté, then add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the beef to the Instant Pot and sear until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- Add the onion to the Instant Pot and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the pepperoncinis, garlic, tomato paste, and oregano and stir to combine for about 2 minutes, then stir in the beef broth.
- Return the beef to the Instant Pot, making sure it is covered by some of the broth and onions. Secure the lid, making sure the steam valve is set to Sealing. Set to Pressure Cook on High for 1 hour. When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally, about 15 minutes.
- Uncover the Instant Pot and transfer the beef to a cutting board, leaving the cooking liquid behind in the pot. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté and simmer the cooking liquid until reduced, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shred the beef with two forks.
- Make the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Fill a medium pot a little over halfway with water and the baking soda. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Divide the pizza dough into 8 portions, then roll each out to a ¼-½-inch-thick circle. Fill each round with 4 quarter-slices of Provolone cheese and some of the shredded beef. Gather the dough around the meat and cheese, pinching the seams to seal, and roll into smooth balls.
- Working in batches, boil the rolls until the outside is slightly cooked, 45-60 seconds. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Brush the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle the tops with garlic powder. Place 2 Provolone strips on top of each roll to create an "X" shape.
- Bake the rolls for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Serve the rolls warm with the reduced braising liquid and chopped giardiniera.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made pizza dough or frozen bread dough for the base of your Italian beef and cheese roll.
- To make sure your beef is cooked evenly, brown it in small batches in a large skillet.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef, or it will steam instead of brown.
- If you don't have any Italian seasoning on hand, you can make your own by combining dried oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary.
- To prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery, don't overcook it. Remove the roll from the oven as soon as the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the Italian beef and cheese roll immediately, or it will become soggy.
