Equipment

  • blender
  • medium-sized pot
  • cutting board
  • Large Pan
  • butcher's twine or toothpick

Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 2 cans San Marzano Tomatoes 28-ounce cans

Beef

  • 2 pounds beef top sirloin roast

Filling

  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup minced fresh parsley
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • sea salt to taste
  • cracked pepper to taste
  • ½ cup white wine

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add the tomatoes to a blender and blend on medium speed until smooth. Transfer to a medium-sized pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook on low heat.
  • Next, slice the sirloin roast into 12 thin fillets and pound each of them out on a cutting board in between plastic wrap or a plastic bag until it is about ¼ thick. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper until combined.
  • Add a small amount of the breadcrumb mixture to the center of 1 pounded beef fillet and spread it out across the beef fillet, pressing it down into the beef. Roll up the beef to make a roulade.
  • Repeat until the beef and stuffing have all been used, and truss each beef roulade with butcher’s twine or a toothpick.
  • Next, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat and sear the beef until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Add in white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the tomato sauce, add a lid to the pan, and cook over low heat for 1 hour.
  • Remove the butcher's twine, slice, and serve.

Notes

This recipe is meant to be eaten after cooking. However, it can be kept warm over very low heat for up to 30 minutes covered in the pan. Store the steak and sauce covered in plastic for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Braciole will freeze well covered in a container for up to 3 months.
