Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 c. fresh bread crumbs
- 1 c. finely diced provolone cheese
- 5/8 c. freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 3 Tbsp. finely minced parsley
- 3 sm garlic cloves chopped
- 2 x shallots chopped
- 2 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 2 1/2 tsp chopped rosemary kosher salt and freshly grnd pepper
- 1/3 c. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil plus 1/2 c. for brushing
- 3 1/4 lb beef eye of round cut crosswise into 36 slices (1 1/2 ounces each), and pounded into 6-by-4-inch rectangles
- 3 x lemons halved lengthwise, then thickly sliced crosswise
- 1 x baguette top and bottom crusts cut off, sliced 1 inch thick grilled lemon vinaigrette see recipe
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients with 1 1/2 tsp. of salt and 1/2 tsp. of pepper. Fold in 1/3 c. of the oil.
- Set a slice of beef on a work surface with the long side facing you. Spread 1 1/2 Tbsp. of the filling along the bottom third of the slice. Roll the meat around the filling into a tight log, folding in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining meat and filling to make 36 rolls.
- On each 12-inch skewer, thread 1 lemon slice, 1 bread slice, 1 lemon slice and 1 beef roll; repeat 2 more times. Generously brush the skewers with the remaining 1/2 c. of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Light a grill or possibly preheat the broiler. Grill or possibly broil the skewers till the bread is crusty brown and the meat is pink in the center, about 2 min per side. Serve warm with the Grilled Lemon Vinaigrette.
- NOTES : Braciole is the Italian name for beef rolls stuffed with cheese and herbs, then sauteed and simmered, or possibly grilled.
