Italian Beef Steak Wrap Recipes

BRACIOLE

Steps:

• Stir the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season mixture with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Lay the flank steak flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak to cover the top evenly. Starting at 1 short end, roll up the steak as for a jelly roll to enclose the filling completely. Using butcher's twine, tie the steak roll to secure. Sprinkle the braciole with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the braciole and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the marinara sauce. Cover partially with foil and bake until the meat is almost tender, turning the braciole and basting with the sauce every 30 minutes. After 1 hour, uncover and continue baking until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes longer. The total cooking time should be about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the braciole from the sauce. Using a large sharp knife, cut the braciole crosswise and diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer the slices to plates. Spoon the sauce over and serve.
• In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
• Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
• If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.

ITALIAN BEEF STEAK WRAP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat Flank Steak dry on both sides, then season with salt and black pepper; press seasoning gently into the steak before flipping to season the other side.
• Prepare produce: cut onion and bell pepper into thin slivers, cut cherry tomatoes in half, and chop the basil.
• Place onion and bell pepper slices on a sheet pan and drizzle with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, then evenly season with 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning. Place the pan in the oven and roast vegetables for approximately 10 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through.
• While vegetables are roasting, heat a cast iron pan on the stove on MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Put 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil in the pan and spread it around. Sear Flank Steak for 1.5 minutes on each side . Place the cast iron pan with Flank Steak in the oven until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (for medium rare) to 145°F (for medium) using a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the steak. Remove the pan with Flank Steak from the oven. Let stand for at least 3 minutes (temperature will continue to rise about 10°-15°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium).
• While the steak is resting, heat the panini press and start assembling a wrap. Lay the tortillas on a clean, dry surface. Layer ¼ of the lettuce, roasted onion, bell pepper, and cherry tomato halves on each tortilla.
• Cut steak across the grain into thin slices.
• Place 1/4 of the beef on each wrap. Top steak with 1 tsp. Italian seasoning, 1/4 of the chopped basil, 1 oz. blue cheese, and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette dressing, if desired. Gently roll the wrap closed, place the seam down on the panini press, and press wrap. When done, remove from panini press and cut diagonally. Repeat 3 more times until all wraps are pressed.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, pecorino Romano, ½ cup (20 g) chopped basil, provolone, parsley, 5 minced cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, and the olive oil. Stir and set aside.
• Lay the flank steak on a cutting board. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cover the the meat with a sheet of parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the steak until it's ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
• Remove the parchment and sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak.
• Starting from the bottom, roll the meat into a log. Using butcher's twine, tie up the roll so it holds its shape while cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the canola oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the steak roll and, without moving it, cook until a dark brown crust forms on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the roll and repeat until all sides and the ends have been seared. Remove the roll from the pan and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Add the butter, carrot, onion, celery, remaining 3 cloves of garlic, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes.

• Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
• Return the beef roll to the pot. Cover and bake for 1 hour, flipping the roll halfway through (if the sauce is drying up too much, add more crushed tomatoes or water), until the beef is tender.
• Slice the braciole and arrange on a serving platter with the sauce. Serve the braciole with orecchiette or polenta. Garnish with grated pecorino Romano and fresh basil.
• Enjoy!
