Bracciole, also known as 'braciole,' is an Italian dish made of thinly sliced meat (usually beef) filled with a mix of savory ingredients.

It's then cooked in a tomato sauce until the meat is tender and flavorful. Bracciole is a hearty and comforting dish that's perfect for a cozy night in or a family dinner.
