Beef Wellington Braciole
Braciole (pronounced “Bra-choh-leh”) is a classic Italian dish traditionally made with a filling of parmigiano cheese, herbs and breadcrumbs, rolled up inside a thin slice of flank steak. Also called braciola, the stuffed steak roulade is then cooked in a tomato-based sauce.
This recipe takes the elements of Sicilian braciole and combines it with a home-style Beef Wellington, for an easy dinner that looks and tastes super impressive!
These mushroom-stuffed flank steak pinwheels might be the most gorgeous savory dish to ever come out of my kitchen. I mean, look at that nearly perfect beef spiral soaked in rich red wine tomato gravy! This mashup of two classic beef recipes is moist and tender, and barely needs a knife.
