Let's Get Started
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Lay the beef slices flat and evenly divide the breadcrumb mixture among them, spreading it over the surface of each slice.
- Roll up each slice tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the braciole on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, red wine, dried oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
