This is a tasty braised beef dish. I used top round only because it was on sale. Flank steak or skirt steak work as well but they were both much higher in price. The braising time well vary depending the cut and thickness of beef used. It needs to cook until very tender so be patient. The braciole is good on its own but I served it with rigatoni and a green salad.

Viansa in Sonoma makes some very good small lot signature wines. They are not available to the general public rather to wine club members only. They are not cheap. The 2011 Viansa Sonoma Valley Sangiovese is a very food friendly wine. It is aged in Oak for 20 months. It has fruit forward flavors and worked well with beef and pasta.
