Ingredients
- 8 slices beef braciole, beef very thinly sliced
- Coarse salt and black pepper
- 8 slices prosciutto di Parma
- 1 1/2 cups plain bread crumbs, eyeball it
- 1/2 cup milk, eyeball it
- 2/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, 3 handfuls
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, a couple of handfuls, chopped
- 1 cup chopped arugula
- Plain round toothpicks
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
- 2 cloves garlic, cracked away from skin
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 crimini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 rounded tablespoon tomato paste
Directions
Season meat with salt and pepper. Top each slice of meat with a slice of prosciutto. In a medium bowl, moisten bread crumbs with milk. Add grated cheese, onion, parsley, arugula, salt and pepper to the crumbs and combine well. Spread a thin layer of stuffing down the center of each beef slice and roll tightly. Fasten rolled meat with plain toothpicks.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to a hot pan along with garlic. Set meat into pan and brown on all sides, 6 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan. Add butter to the pan. Add mushrooms to the melted butter. Saute mushrooms 5 minutes. Add flour to the pan and cook 2 minutes. Whisk wine into the flour and mushrooms and scrape up pan drippings. Reduce wine 1 minute, then whisk in beef broth and tomato paste. Set meat back into sauce and reduce heat to medium low. Partially cover pan with a cover left ajar an inch. Simmer meat in sauce 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer beef rolls to a platter, removing toothpicks. Pour pan gravy down over the beef rolls and serve.

Very good. And easy to make. Just do your prep work ahead of time and it will go quickly. The sauce was awesome!

Love it, love it, love it! This is the first time I have made this dish and my husband couldn't get enough. The flavors worked so well together and it was easy to assemble. I definitely know what I will be serving at our next dinner party.

Before we tried Rachael's braciole recipe, we had tried several other recipes that didn't do much for us. They were all cooked in tomato sauce, and I was beginning to think I was not a fan of braciole. Then we tried Rachael's recipe, and thanks to Rachael's Mama, we now have a braciole recipe that we like. I think the difference is that Rachael cooks her bracioles in a mushroomy beef broth that flavors and tenderizes the meat just right. We still serve this on the side with pasta and marinara sauce. I can now tell all my Italian neighbors that we make braciole!
