Equipment

Meat mallet
Skillet
Mixing bowl
Kitchen twine
Knife and cutting board

Ingredients

4 slices beef top round pounded to 1/4 inch thickness, about 1.5 lbs or 680g
1 cup grated parmesan cheese 3.5 oz or 100g
½ cup chopped fresh parsley 1.2 oz or 34g
2 cloves garlic minced, approximately 1 tsp
¼ cup pine nuts toasted, 1 oz or 28g
2 tbsp olive oil 1 oz or 30ml
1 cup low-carb tomato sauce 8.5 oz or 240g
Salt and pepper to taste
Kitchen twine for tying the rolls

Instructions

Lay the beef slices flat on a clean surface. Season each slice with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, and pine nuts.
Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the beef slices, spreading it across the surface. Leave a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll up each beef slice from the short end and secure with kitchen twine.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the braciole rolls on all sides, then remove them from the skillet.
Pour the tomato sauce into the same skillet, and bring it to a simmer.
Place the braciole rolls back into the skillet with the sauce, cover, and let them simmer on low heat for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
Once cooked, remove the kitchen twine and serve the braciole with the sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the tomato sauce before adding the braciole rolls. Additionally, for a touch of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be included in the tomato sauce. Ensure the braciole is fully submerged in the sauce while simmering to allow for even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
