The Braciola III is a classic Italian dish that consists of thinly sliced meat filled with an aromatic stuffing, then rolled, tied and braised in a tomato sauce. It’s traditionally served as a main course and pairs perfectly with pasta, polenta, or crusty bread. This variation of the Braciola III recipe uses boneless round steak stuffed with garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and bacon, then braised in a tomato sauce. The dish is very popular in Southern Italy and in areas with an Italian-American population
