Grandma would make little steak and sausage braciole, and simmer them all day in Sunday gravy. She left us 30 years ago but I can still smell them cooking.

My mother, who passed away at the age of 97 in 2019, used to do the same thing. Her recipe was similar to Dan’s, but no other meat, and not as savory. I made it once for some guests, and did it just like mom. Mom always used flank steak, too, which used to be inexpensive. But the cost of even “lowly cuts” like flank steak has soared! This recipe looks fabulous, and I’ll have to try it.

My only exposure to Braciole is the episode of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND when Raymond's mom discovers that her daughter-in-law makes better Braciole than she does. At least according to Raymond. Doubtful, she tastes it and the expression of enjoyment and anger that crosses her face is priceless. She stomps out of the house. When her husband admits he likes his daughter-in-law's better than hers, she banishes him from the house. I've never seen food generate so much conflict.

I was lucky to be born into an Italian-American family in the North Jersey/NYC area; a family that had a Sunday Sauce dinner each week at my grandparents house. There was always braciole on the table. My grandma’s braciole was the rolled meat stuffed with Italian parsley and lots of chopped garlic. Period. It was delicious!!!

@pauld674 5 ай бұрын

Sounds like me, except I grew up in South Jersey and my family came from South Philly. The only difference we didn't call it sauce in my family...it was "Sunday gravy". My grandmother inspired me so much I even went to culinary school but later went into another profession. I digress, I miss the old days but at least I know all the recipes.

In my family, the grandmas called this "stringy meat." You'd get meatballs, sausages, and stringy meat in the Sunday gravy, served with pasta. This followed the antipasto, and was followed by some kind of roast. On just about every Sunday. Lots of blue collar workers in my grandparents generation. That must be how they burned it all off. It would be half a week of calories for me.

We know Braciole as "Beef Olives" here in the UK. Was always one of my childhood favourites & makes a little meat go a long way.

This looks amazing, and I can't wait to try it. But it looks far from fork tender....those LaGuiole knives were having a hard time cutting it, definitely some sawing action required. Any suggestions on what to change in order to make it fork tender? I suspect a different cut of beef with more connective tissue...but would love feedback.

@eileensien514 2 ай бұрын

Top round or bottom round also works. After cutting and pounding - salt on both sides - stack pieces with plastic wrap between the layers - cover with more wrap - store in fridge overnight - cook the rolls on the stove as shown, but NOT to the point of "crusting" - add more liquid to the sauce - a 2nd can of tomato sauce and another 2 cups of beef stock - also, I cook lower and slower (250°F for 5 hours). Also - the way that Dan tied the braciole doesn't work as well (especially for removal) as using a long single strand of twine (3½'-4' per roll makes it easy to tie - see Chef Jean-Pierre's video to see the single-strand technique).

I disagree. Pork is horrible these days. No fat. Wouldnt braise. The cuts that do have fat are too fatty and wouldnt likely do well for this. My initial reaction really is that the beauty of this is that you do NOT need a good cut of beef. Ask a butcher locally. Even if I recommended a cut besides flank, the names for beef cuts tend to be local. Just tell them what youre trying to do.

Tried making this last night and it was a near disaster. I used 1.75 lb cut of flank steak that was not terribly rectangular and that was probably the main problem. My rolls were too small and held little filling. I was also surprised at the prep time - almost two hours! It took forever to pound the meat and then create the rolls. My Dutch oven had a smaller footprint than Dan's and my rolls ended up swimming in the sauce, which had not cooked down after 2.5 hours. I finally took it out and put it on the stove to simmer to get the sauce to thicken. I suppose the recipe is fine, but I have to say that I couldn't taste much of that complicated filling. The sauce does taste great though.

replace the romano with ground pine nuts. Chop and saute 4oz bunch of curly kale, stems removed, down until it is nearly dry to replace the fontina. You might need a little bit more bread crumbs but probably not. If you are OK with nutritional yeast, you can get some of the funkiness of romano by adding 1TBSP nutritional yeast. Add salt to replace the missing salt from the cheese, to taste, probably around 1tsp.
