Maw-Maw’s Italian Braciole – A Post by MiMi

Thanks for sharing!

Carlee and I were talking about the roulade that her aunt Linda used to make. This made me think of the steak rolls that my mother used to make when I was a child. They were one of my favorite meals.

 I immediately called her to get the recipe. She wasn’t exactly sure how she made them but as we talked about it she remembered. I think we got it pretty close. 

My mother, MawMaw, had probably eaten something similar when she was out to dinner one night and tried to replicate it at home. This is what she came up with and it was an instant favorite of mine.

In my early marriage I made this several times. Somehow it found its way out of our lineup of meals. I’m so glad that this recipe is back in our lives.

She recalled discussing what she made for dinner one night with some of her friends as they were playing golf. It just so happens that there was an Italian lady or two in her group.

They knew immediately what she was talking about. They called it Braciole. Pronounced bra-jewel. 

Nobody will really care what it’s called. Let’s just call them the best steak rolls ever!

Carlee

Thin steak wrapped around a cheesy stuffing to make a pretty spiral and topped with tomato sauce make this recipe for Italian braciole both tasty and stunning.
