Instant Pot Braciole Or Stovetop Food

INSTANT POT BRACIOLE

Steps:

• In a medium-size bowl, stir together with a fork the sausage, bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, basil, and egg until well combined.
• Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Arrange 1 to 2 slices of prosciutto over each steak.
• Using the fork, spread filling evenly over the prosciutto on each steak, leaving a border of about 1/4-inch on all sides.
• One steak at a time, starting at a short edge, roll each steak up.
• Securely tie the roll with twine at intervals along the roll, and then again with one string lengthwise. Alternatively, secure the roll with toothpicks.
• Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTÈ and heat the oil on More/High until shimmering.
• Add the steak rolls and cook, turning them frequently, until browned on all sides, about 5 to 6 minutes. Using tongs, remove from the pot and set aside.
• To the pot, add the onions, garlic, carrot, celery and cook until they start to become tender, about 4 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and stir until well blended.
• Add the wine and bring to a boil.
• Stir in tomatoes, oregano and bay leaves.
• Nestle the rolls into the sauce.
• Lock the lid into place and cook at MEAT/STEW or PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL on High Pressure for 30 minutes.
• When finished cooking, select CANCEL and let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then carefully move the valve to Steaming to allow for Quick Release.
• Carefully remove the rolls and transfer to a cutting board.
• Taste the sauce, and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the beef crosswise into slices about 1/2-inch thick, removing the twine as you cut.
• Spoon some of the sauce onto a platter, and place the slices on top of the sauce, spooning more sauce over the top.
• Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve at once!

BEEF BRACIOLE

Steps:

• Whisk together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, chopped basil and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a medium bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of the olive oil to a small bowl. Grate 3 cloves of garlic into the olive oil and whisk to combine. Pour the olive oil mixture into the breadcrumb mixture and fluff with a fork until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles wet sand.
• Arrange one slice of beef on a clean work surface. Top with 1 slice of prosciutto, folding if necessary to fit the slice of meat. Top the prosciutto with 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumb mixture and press slightly to compact it. Fold in the side edges of the beef about a 1/4 inch. Starting from the bottom, roll up the beef like a jelly roll, creating a cylinder. Secure the opening with 2 toothpicks. Place the finished roll on a rimmed baking sheet and continue the process with the remaining meat, prosciutto and breadcrumb mixture. Once all the meat is rolled, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a large high-sided pan and heat over medium. Once the oil is shimmering add the beef rolls, in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Brown on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove to the rimmed baking sheet and brown the remaining rolls.
• Once all the rolls have been browned and removed from the pan, add the red wine. Cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until the harsh alcohol smell burns off and the wine slightly reduces, about 2 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes, basil sprigs, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 cloves of garlic. Stir to combine. Add 1/2 cup water to the can of tomatoes and swirl it around to clean any residual tomato from the sides of the can. Add the tomato water to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the rolls back to the pan and turn the heat down to low. Baste the meat in the tomato sauce, cover the pan and cook on low, basting the meat 2 to 3 times during the cooking process, until the meat is very tender, 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
• To serve, remove the toothpicks from the rolls and serve topped with red sauce and freshly grated Parmesan.

MY MAMA'S BRACIOLE

Steps:

• 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.
