Best Braciole Ever

This Braciole has the best combination of filling and the tastiest sauce. It is really easy. We love it served over gnocchi.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Mix garlic, parsley, onion, Parmesan, crumbs in a food processor and process into a paste.
2. Lay round steak flat and pound very thin to tenderize. At this point I usuall cut the beef into 2 pieces for manageable rolls, but you can keep it large.
3. Spread mixture on beef. Layer the salami, Mozzarella, salt and pepper to taste. Roll up and secure with string or tooth picks.
4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute in oil, brown on all sides. Remove from pan.
5. To oil and drippings a add red wine, tomato products, water, basil, sugar, salt and pepper and mix well.
6. Add beef back to the sauce and simmer very for approximately 90 minutes.
7. Serve over gnocchi, pasta, mashed potatoes or whatever you like!
