Bracciole
- 1 lb round steak, about 1/3 inch thick
- 1/4 lb salt pork
- 1 tablespoon parsley, flat leaf, chopped fine
- 1 garlic clove, minced fine
- 1/4 cup fresh breadcrumb, grated
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- salt and pepper
- flour (for dredging) (optional)
- hot oil (for frying)
- Pound the steak out to about half it's thickness or less.
- Cut the rind off of the salt pork and save for a soup pot. Mince the salt pork into a paste with the rest of the ingredients.
- Spread the paste over the steak and roll the steak up from the longest end, tying the roll with kitchen twine.
- dredge with flour and fry in the same pot you will use to make your gravy (red sauce).
- After it is browned well, cover it with sauce and cook for about 2 hours. Remove strings, slice, and serve along side pasta, covered with your sauce.
- To make it a meal just serve larger portions. A one-pound bracciole would serve about 8 people alongside of pasta, meatballs, pork ribs, beef roast, etc. We would cook a ton of food for a family feast so a little bit of each was all we needed.
