About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Braciole are thin slices of beef, usually from the round or sometimes the flank, pounded flat, filled with garlic, cheese, breadcrumbs, and herbs, then rolled up, tied, and simmered in tomato sauce. The long simmer softens the lean meat. Butchers often sell the slices ready to roll. It is a dish more than a cut, so ask for thin-sliced top round or flank if your recipe calls for braciole.

Cook’s tipAsk for slices about a quarter inch thick, pound them thinner, and simmer the rolls gently in sauce until fork-tender. Remove the string before serving.
