Directions
- Place the slices of meat on a sheet of plastic wrap, then top with a second sheet. Pound the meat thin using a mallet or a rolling pin.
- Prepare the filling by combining the minced garlic, parsley, basil, parmesan, bread crumbs, and dash of salt and pepper, mixing well.
- Place a slice of prosciutto on each thinly pounded slice of beef. Cover the prosciutto evenly with the filling mixture. Then roll each piece up, securing with toothpicks.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the braciole and brown them evenly on all sides. Be careful not to disturb or spill the filling when you turn them.
- Carefully remove the browned braciole and place them in a slow cooker insert. Add the sliced garlic, red wine, beef broth, crushed tomatoes, and Italian seasoning, then mix well.
- Cook on high for 5 hours, turning the braciole occasionally.
