做法
分步操作
- 1
Lay out the beef top round slices on a clean surface.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示: Pound the beef slightly if the slices are too thick.
- 2
Season the beef with salt and black pepper.
约 1分钟
- 3
Distribute the prosciutto, pecorino romano cheese, minced garlic, and fresh parsley evenly over each beef slice.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示: Don't overfill the braciole to ensure they roll and stay together easily.
- 4
Carefully roll each beef slice tightly, then secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示: Ensure they are tightly rolled to prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- 5
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
约 2分钟
- 6
Sear the braciole on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the pot and set aside.
约 10分钟
烹饪提示: Browning adds significant depth of flavor to the sauce.
- 7
Add the chopped yellow onion to the same pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
约 7分钟
烹饪提示: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot to incorporate into the sauce.
- 8
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示: Cooking the tomato paste briefly enhances its flavor.
- 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.
约 5分钟
- 10
Add the crushed tomatoes and fresh basil leaves to the pot. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
约 5分钟
- 11
Return the seared braciole to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the sauce.
约 1分钟
- 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.
约 3小时
烹饪提示: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The longer it simmers, the more tender the meat and flavorful the sauce.
- 13
Once cooked, carefully remove the braciole from the sauce. Remove and discard the kitchen twine or toothpicks.
约 2分钟
- 14
While the braciole are resting, cook the orecchiette pasta according to package directions in a separate pot of salted boiling water until al dente.
约 10分钟
烹饪提示: Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining, in case you need to adjust the sauce consistency.
- 15
Drain the pasta and add it directly to the ragù, tossing to coat.
约 1分钟
- 16
Slice the braciole into thick rounds or serve whole with the pasta and sauce.
约 2分钟
- 17
Garnish with extra grated pecorino romano cheese before serving.
