For the Braciole

  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare for assembly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine fresh spinach, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Lay the flank steak slices flat, scoop filling onto one end, and roll it tightly. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
  4. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed braciole for about 5 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  5. Pour marinara sauce over the braciole, ensuring they are coated. Cover and transfer to the oven.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes until cooked through. The aroma will fill your kitchen.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
