BRACIOLA STEAKS STUFFED WITH CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• If the braciola is more than about 1/4-inch thick, place the slices between sheets of wax paper and gently pound them. Pair off the braciola slices that are closest in size and shape. Sprinkle the meat lightly with salt and pepper and place a slice of cheese and a slice of prosciutto between each pair, folding them over if necessary so that they do not protrude beyond the edges of the braciola. Reserve a bit of the basil for garnish and place the remainder between the braciola slices.
• Place the beaten eggs in a wide, flat bowl and place the flour and bread crumbs on separate plates. Mix the bread crumbs with the thyme and cayenne. Dip the braciola in the flour, coating it on all sides and being careful that the pieces do not come apart. Shake off any excess flour and coat the braciola in egg and then in bread crumbs, making sure that the coating seals the edges of the meat.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the braciola in a single layer, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the braciola. Cook, turning once, until nicely browned, about 3 minutes for each side. Drain the braciola briefly on paper towels, place on a serving dish, garnish with the reserved basil and serve.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Place flank steak in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add mushrooms, celery, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic; saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in a large bowl.
• Pat roasted red peppers dry. Chop and add to the vegetable mixture. Add bread crumbs, parsley, 2 tablespoons olive oil, capers, salt, pepper flakes, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove steak from the freezer and season with salt and pepper. Turn the long side of the steak towards you and place on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle to within 1/2 inch of the opposite edge, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, layer prosciutto and provolone cheese over the entire steak. Top with bread crumb mixture, patting down to adhere. Roll steak up tightly starting at the small end. Use kitchen twine to tie steak in 1-inch increments taking care to tie tightly at both ends. Season with more salt and pepper and brush with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place steak carefully on a broiler pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare, 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for medium, or 170 degrees F (77 degrees C) for well done, 35 to 40 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

STUFFED STEAK WITH PROSCIUTTO AND SPINACH (RACHAEL RAY)

Steps:

• Defrost spinach in microwave. Wrap in clean kitchen towel and wring chopped spinach dry.
• Place a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons EVOO to hot skillet. Add garlic to oil. Add onion and red pepper, cook 1 minute. Lower heat to medium. Add the prosciutto and the spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Add bread crumbs and cheese to spinach. Turn off heat. Let stuffing cool.
• To create the cavity for the stuffing, use a long sharp knife (like a boning knife), and cut a 1 to 2-inch hole through the center of the roast making a lengthwise slit. Turn the meat around and cut another slit in the same spot so that your knife completes the cavity. Insert a wooden spoon into the cavity to make sure the hole is even and goes all the way through.
• Put the cooled filling in a re-sealable plastic bag and snip a hole in the corner of the bag. Pipe the filling into the cavity. You may need to push it along with your fingers to make sure that it goes all the way through.
• Pre-heat nonstick skillet over high heat. Cut the roast into 6 even slices, being careful to keep the stuffing in each slice. Add 2 tablespoons of EVOO to the pan. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and sear in hot, nonstick skillet, 2 minutes on first side. Flip the steaks and sear for an additional 2 minutes then lower the heat to medium-high and cook until done (about 3-4 more minutes). Garnish with thinly sliced red pepper.
