Braciole Recipe – Just Like Maries

This Is A Healthy And Flavorful Braciole Recipe

Braciole RecipeI first heard of Barciole on an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. While the show was funny, this Braciole recipe is downright delicious! Even though there are quite a few ingredients it’s really simple to make. I always take the time to make the fresh tomato sauce because it tastes better and is healthier for you. I made a few healthier adjustments but you can find this original Barciole recipe here. Flank steak can be a little tough. Get your meat at a butcher and ask them to run it through there tenderizer. I have a tenderizer but nothing beats a butchers.

Ingredients

1/2 cup dried Flax meal
1 garlic clove, minced
2/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1/3 cup grated provolone
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
1 cup dry white wine
3 1/4 cups Simple Tomato Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought marinara sauce

Simple Tomato Sauce:

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
4 to 6 Fresh basil leaves
2 dried Fresh bay leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, Kerrygold is best

Directions

In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.
