Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Arrange oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Step 2.
In a medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, parsley, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper flakes; stir until well combined. Set aside.
-
Step 3.
If using a top round roast, slice roast into six 1/2-inch slices. If using pre-sliced beef, skip to step 5.
-
Step 4.
Lay steak slices 3 inches apart on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, flatten slices into rough rectangles no more than 1/4 inch thick.
-
Step 5.
Sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the reserved breadcrumb mixture evenly over steaks, then place 1 slice of prosciutto over each, folding to fit and pressing firmly.
-
Step 6.
Starting from a short end, roll each steak to form a small bundle. Tie each bundle with 2 pieces of kitchen twine to secure.
-
Step 7.
In a large sauté pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add braciole bundles and brown on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer browned braciole to a clean plate; set aside.
-
Step 8.
Add onion and salt to the now-empty pan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Step 9.
Stir in wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and cook until mixture reduces by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and water.
-
Step 10.
Nestle the browned braciole bundles into the sauce and bring to a simmer.
-
Step 11.
Cover the pan with an oven-safe lid or aluminum foil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Cook, covered, flipping braciole halfway through, for 90 minutes.
-
Step 12.
Carefully remove the lid, flip the braciole again, and continue to cook until meat is tender and sauce thickened to gravy-like consistency, 15 to 45 minutes longer.
-
Step 13.
Season sauce with salt to taste. Use scissors to cut off twine around each bundle. Transfer braciole to a serving platter or individual plates and spoon sauce overtop. Serve.
