Braised Beef Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Place slices of meat one at a time on board and pound with flat mallet without breaking flesh.
• Brush top of each slice with mustard. Cut each pickle spear crosswise in half. Place spear in center of each slice. Sprinkle with marjoram. Fold over ends of each slice toward center. Fold other ends over to enclose pickles. Tie each roll with string. Sprinkle with black pepper.
• Heat butter in casserole or Dutch oven and add beef rolls. Cook, turning as necessary, until nicely browned all over, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove beef rolls. To casserole add onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Sprinkle with flour and stir with wire whisk to blend. Add wine, stirring rapidly with whisk. Stir in broth. Add thyme and bay leaf. Return meat rolls to casserole. Cover and let simmer 1 hour. Remove strings from beef rolls and bay leaf from sauce. Serve with sauce spooned over.

Steps:

• Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown meat on both sides in oil; drain. , Combine 1-1/2 cups water, brown sugar, raisins, onion, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and bay leaf if desired in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Combine flour and remaining water until smooth; stir into raisin sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over the meat. , Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Discard bay leaf. Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Pour the milk over the bread cubes in a bowl, and let soak while you slice the beef.
• Slice the beef into 2-to-3-ounce slices (ideally, you want twelve pieces). Pound the slices all over with a mallet to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. If slices tear, don't worry-you can patch as necessary, by overlapping the torn pieces of meat.
• For the filling: Squeeze the excess milk from the bread, and put the bread in a large bowl. Add the parsley, eggs, pine nuts, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt to the bread bowl. Season with pepper.
• Lay the pounded beef slices out flat on your work surface, and season with salt. Evenly divide the filling among the slices, approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons for each slice, then spread to within 1 inch of the edge on all slices. Put a piece of provola cheese lengthwise in the middle of each slice. Roll the slices lengthwise, and pin the rolls closed with toothpicks by pinching the meat.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the braciole with salt, and add to the pot to brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, in batches if necessary. Remove the browned braciole to a plate, and toss the onion into the pot. Cook until the onion is softened, about 4 to 5 minutes, then add the garlic. Cook a minute or two, until the garlic is sizzling, then pour the white wine into the pot. Increase heat, bring to a boil, and cook until the wine is almost evaporated, about 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes. Slosh out the tomato cans with 1 cup hot water each and add that as well. Season with the oregano, peperoncino, and the remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
• Return the sauce to a boil, return the beef rolls to the pot, and adjust the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cover, and cook until the braciole are very tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. If the sauce is too thin, remove the braciole to a plate and reduce the sauce over high heat until it thickens to a gravy consistency.
