This beef braciole recipe (pronounced, bro'zhul), is basically a stuffed and rolled piece of pounded beef, braised in tomato sauce. It is one of my all-time favorite Italian recipes, and a great dish to learn, since it can be varied in many delicious ways. I really hadn't planned on making it, but as you'll see in the clip, I found myself the proud owner of some "reduced for quick sale" sirloin steak.

But, we chefs must adapt and overcome, so I ended up doing this version that took advantage of the quicker cooking steak.
