BRACIOLE DELLA NONNA (Grandma's bracioles)

So this recipe comes in quickly after my last post because I have had a few requests. It is a Braciole's recipe, you may be familiar with this dish from the SITCOM "Everybody Loves Raymond". Marie, Ray's mother made this dish often. There are several variations of braciole's depending on where you are in Italy. The one I post here is one my mom made often for us, mostly as a second course on a succulent Sunday dinner, and it is by far the one I am accustomed to and prefer. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

NOTE: Braciole steaks should be a very thin cut and should come from the center cut of the top or bottom round. Since not everyone is familiar with Braciole steaks, I usually ask the butcher to cut me some steaks as thin as his machine will allow.

This recipe will serve 4

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb Braciole steaks
4 thin slices of prosciutto ( you could substitute with cooked ham, but I do not recommend it)
4 thin slices of Swiss cheese
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Vegetable Oil


DIRECTIONS:
Begin by salting and pepper the steaks. Place a slice of Swiss cheese, on one of the steaks. Ensure that the cheese is as much to the center as possible, to avoid spilling over while cooking. Place a slice of prosciutto immediately above the cheese. At this point I like to place some of the smashed garlic around the top of the steak. Roll the steaks and keep closed with string. Heat the oil and brown each of the rolled steaks ensuring they are thoroughly browned. Once you have done this you are ready to cook them in your favorite red sauce (the best is a very simple tomato sauce with butter and onions). That's it serve and enjoy.
