It was the episode "Debra Makes Something Good" and she made breejole (spelled phonetically because I can’t find this anywhere). It looked like a ground beef based roll with a red sauce on top. It has to be Italian ’cause the Barones are Italian and if anyone out there has the recipe, you get 10 points and I’m forever grateful! All I know is that dish looked so yummy and as someone who loves to cook, I really want the recipe.

    Braciole is the Italian dish and this is a traditional recipe- serve it with a green tossed salad and garlic bread.

    Braciole
    3 cups tomato sauce
    1 1/4 cups flavored croutons
    1/3 cup grated Parmesan
    2 eggs
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
    1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
    1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
    1 clove garlic
    1 pound flank steak, pounded to 1/4-inch thick
    Olive oil, for brushing
    Salt and pepper
    Vegetable oil, for searing

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the tomato sauce in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and place in the oven to heat.
    In a the bowl of a food processor mix the croutons, cheese, eggs, herbs and garlic until it forms a paste.
    Brush the pounded flank steak with the olive oil and season generously with the salt and pepper. Spread the filling evenly over the meat. Roll tightly and tie with butcher’s twine.
    In a large saute pan heat 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and sear all sides of the rolled meat. Remove from the pan.
    Add to the hot tomato sauce, cover with a tin foil tent so that the foil is not touching the meat. Braise for 35 minutes or, up to 3 hours.

    4 slices of prosciutto
    1 tablespoon pignoli beans(pine nuts)
    2 tablespoons grated pecorino romano cheese
    2 garlic cloves, chopped

Fill one of the tomato cans 1/2 way with water and add to saucepan. Add tomatoe puree, turn heat to low and cook at a simmer until beef is tender 1.5 – 2 hours.

    5. Sprinkle the basil over the rolls, and cook for 2 minutes longer. Transfer to serving plates, spoon the sauce over the top and serve at once.
