Стъпка по стъпка

1. 1

   Lay out the beef top round slices on a clean surface.

   Около 2 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Pound the beef slightly if the slices are too thick.

2. 2

   Season the beef with salt and black pepper.

   Около 1 мин

3. 3

   Distribute the prosciutto, pecorino romano cheese, minced garlic, and fresh parsley evenly over each beef slice.

   Около 5 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Don't overfill the braciole to ensure they roll and stay together easily.

4. 4

   Carefully roll each beef slice tightly, then secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.

   Около 5 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Ensure they are tightly rolled to prevent filling from escaping during cooking.

5. 5

   Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

   Около 2 мин

6. 6

   Sear the braciole on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the pot and set aside.

   Около 10 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Browning adds significant depth of flavor to the sauce.

7. 7

   Add the chopped yellow onion to the same pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

   Около 7 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot to incorporate into the sauce.

8. 8

   Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

   Около 1 мин

   Бележка на готвача: Cooking the tomato paste briefly enhances its flavor.

9. 9

   Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze, and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.

   Около 5 мин

10. 10

    Add the crushed tomatoes and fresh basil leaves to the pot. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

    Около 5 мин

11. 11

    Return the seared braciole to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the sauce.

    Около 1 мин

12. 12

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the braciole are very tender.

    Около 3 ч

    Бележка на готвача: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The longer it simmers, the more tender the meat and flavorful the sauce.

    Once cooked, carefully remove the braciole from the sauce. Remove and discard the kitchen twine or toothpicks.

    Около 2 мин
