Braciola
1 pound top round steak
6 ounces mozzarella cheese
6 teaspoons butter
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup raisins
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (or your own homemade tomato sauce)
Cut the steak into 4 to 6 pieces and pound each piece thinly with a
mallet or the side of a cleaver. Place a slice of mozzarella cheese
and 1 teaspoon of butter on each piece, then sprinkle each piece
with Parmesan cheese, garlic, and raisins, and season with salt and
pepper.
Roll each piece tightly and tie securely with string. Heat olive oil
in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Saut� each roll in the
oil for 5 to 10 minutes, or until browned on all sides.
Drop these rolls into your favorite simmering tomato sauce for 1 1/2
hours, or until tender. Remove from sauce, cool slightly and remove
the strings before serving.
