Ingredienti

• 1 Pound top round steak (thinly sliced, about 8 slices)
• 2 Tablespoon pesto
• 1 Teaspoon salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 Teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 Cup breadcrumbs (Italian or plain)
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 2 Cups marinara sauce
• 1/2 Tablespoon garlic paste

Preparazione

1. 1

   Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

2. 2

   brush: Lay steak onto a flat surface. Brush one side of each piece with the pesto sauce to coat.

3. 3

   press: Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Mix well. Dip the steak pesto side down into the breadcrumbs. Lightly press breadcrumbs into the steak to adhere. Lay steak plain side up on a baking sheet as you work.

4. 4

   roll: Cut provolone slices in half. Place provolone onto one end of each steak. Starting with the cheese end, tightly roll steak into a log. Secure with toothpicks or cooking twine. Combine the marinara with the garlic paste and set aside.

5. 5

   Sear the braciole in the cast iron skillet for 30 seconds per side. Once seared, pour marinara mixture into the skillet and lower the heat to medium low. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top and cook for 10 minutes.

   Garnish with chopped basil and serve with pasta or your preferred sides.
