Braciole is a classic Italian main dish that consists of thinly sliced beef that is rolled up with a flavorful breadcrumb and cheese filling, and then braised in tomato sauce. It is a staple of Italian-American cuisine and can be found in many Italian restaurants across the country. Braciole is a great dish to serve for a special occasion or a family dinner, as it is both impressive and delicious. The dish pairs well with a variety of side dishes, including pasta, potatoes, and vegetables.

Instructions

1.In a medium bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese, provolone cheese, parsley, marjoram, thyme, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper.
2.Lay the flank steak out flat on a cutting board and season with salt and pepper. Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the steak.
3.Starting at one end of the steak, roll it up tightly and tie it securely with kitchen twine.
4.Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rolled-up steak and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
5.Add the white wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
