It was so much easier than I expected. Best stuffing EVER! Probably could have added some water to the brasing liquid and let it go a little longer though.

The problem with this recipe is that after browning it needs to braise in your Sunday sauce to get tender. My mom made these every sunday and the braciole, meatballs and sausage would cook in the sauce for a few hours, flavoring the sauce and getting tender. Forget the salt on the meat, parmasean will add plenty.Ann burell has a good recipe too, but its all in the cooking.

This wasn't the dish I was going for.
After reading other peoples' reviews, I decided to buy a thick cut of beef & have the butcher slice it thin instead of pounding flank steak. This way, I made three individual bracioles instead of one big one. I also used Emeril's cacciatori sauce (store-bought instead of plain tomato sauce.
Cons:
It's salty!!! I think this is because of the flavored breadcrumbs.
The presentation is ugly. It's all brown. I think it would be prettier with white bread crumbs instead of croutons-- that way, it would be brown & white pin wheels when sliced.
Tomato sauce is nasty-- use marinara!
Very heavy dish.
Pros:
Relatively easy to make.
Very filling.
