Braciole (Bracioli) Italian Beef Rolls

Start by preparing the marinara sauce. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes. Add the parsley, basil, garlic, oregano, and thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, salt, and pepper and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Place the slices of beef on a work surface.

For the filling, combine the parsley, basil, pine nuts, raisins, garlic, sage, thyme, prosciutto, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Spread the filling evenly on each slice of beef. Top each with a slice of Mozzarella. Roll each braciole up around the filling and secure with string or toothpicks.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the braciole and brown on all sides.

Add the marinara sauce to the skillet. Cover the skillet and let simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. This can also be baked in the oven at 350 degrees F.
