Italian Stuffed Braciole is a comforting dish made with tender flank steak rolled around a savory spinach and cheese filling, baked in marinara sauce. It’s an easy yet impressive meal perfect for any occasion, offering a taste of tradition and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds flank steak
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Lay the flank steak flat on a clean surface. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the steak.
  4. Roll the steak tightly around the filling. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
  5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the braciole on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour marinara sauce over the braciole in the skillet.
  7. Cover the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  8. Let the braciole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

  • For even thickness, pound the flank steak with a meat mallet.
  • Ensure the filling cools slightly before adding to the steak.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when searing.
  • Experiment with different herbs like thyme or parsley.
  • Allow the braciole to rest before slicing for juicier results.
