- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 4 slices prosciutto
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup dry red wine (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Beef Rolls:
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to make the filling.
- Lay the thinly sliced beef flat on a cutting board and season with salt and black pepper.
- Place a slice of prosciutto on top of each beef slice, then spoon some of the breadcrumb filling onto each slice.
- Roll up the beef slices tightly, securing them with kitchen twine or toothpicks to hold the rolls together.
- Brown the Beef Rolls:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef rolls to the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are evenly browned and sealed.
- Simmer in Tomato Sauce:
- Pour the marinara sauce, beef broth, and dry red wine (if using) into the skillet with the beef rolls.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
- Let the beef rolls simmer in the sauce for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until they are tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Once the beef rolls are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving platter.
