Braciola
- 2/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1/3 cup grated Provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 flank steak (1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 1/4 cups Marinara Sauce (page 59)
- In a medium bowl, stir the cheeses, bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic to blend.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil, and set aside.
- Lay the flank steak flat on the work surface, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the bread-crumb mixture evenly over the steak to cover the top evenly.
- Starting at one short end, roll up the steak as for a jelly roll and enclose the filling completely.
- Using kitchen twine, tie the steak roll to secure.
- Sprinkle the braciola with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large, heavy, ovenproof frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over a medium flame.
- Add the braciola and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
- Add the wine and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the marinara sauce.
- Cover partially with foil and bake, turning the braciola and basting with the sauce every 30 minutes, until the meat is almost tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Uncover and continue baking until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes longer.
- (The braciola can be made up to this point 1 day ahead.
- Cool, then cover with foil and refrigerate.
- Rewarm in a 350 degree F oven until the braciola is heated through, about 30 minutes.)
- Remove the braciola from the sauce.
- Using a large, sharp knife, remove the kitchen twine and cut the braciola crosswise and diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- Transfer the slices to plates.
- Spoon the sauce over and serve.
