Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sprinkle each side of the beef with sea salt and allow it to sweat for about 20-30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine arugula, onion, oregano, garlic, cheese, panko, and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil and pulse until the ingredients are combined and chopped.
Spread the mixture onto one side of the flattened beef. Roll the beef tightly and secure it with twine on each side.
Drizzle canola oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef roll to the skillet and sear on each side for about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until done.
Let the beef rest for about 10 minutes before cutting to allow the juices to settle.
For a carb-free dinner, replace the carrots with broccoli or Brussels sprouts, and omit panko in the filling.
Serve the Braciole over a salad for a lighter meal option.
Ensure the beef is pounded evenly to make rolling easier and to ensure even cooking.
