BRASCIOLE pronounced (brah-shole)

Grab a bottle of ragu, prego, or whatever sauce you like best.

1# thinly sliced beef ( anykind will do even skirt or flank)
1 beaten egg
1# thinly sliced prosciutto
1 tbl seasoned bread crumbs
1 tsp toasted pinenuts
1/2 tsp fresh parsley
1 tsp grated parmesan
4 tblsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basil

Combine egg, breadcrumbs,pine nuts and parmesan, basil, parsley, and garlic powder, reserve. (reserve meaning set aside for later). pound out a slice of beef to about 1/8" thickness, doesnt have to be exact. season the meat with salt and pepper.
place the prosciutto on the beef and spread about a tsp of the reserve on the prosciutto. rollup the meat carefully and secure with toothpick. Lightly flour the beef roll and brown it in olive oild. DO NOT COOK ALL THE WAY! this is KEY! just brown the outter edges. In a large sauce pot, heat the sauce to a light boil. Place the beef rolls in the sauce and turn heat to LOW. Let this meat cook in the sauce for 2-3 hours. If your in a rush, you can place the meat in a casserole dish, cover with sauce then bake for 45 min on 350. HOWEVER I SERIOUSLY urge you to let it cook in the sauce for hours, it becomes VERY tender and the meat just falls apart in your mouth.

The sauce gets seasoned nicely also by the meat juices and contents cooking in the sauce.

I suggest cooking some angel hair pasta and placing the meat rolls over the past on a dish for a good presentation.
