Crockpot Steak Rolls (Braciole) Recipe
Steak Roll Ingredients:
2.5 lbs of round steak; cut into 8 equal pieces
1 Tbsps of parsley flakes; dried
1/2 lb of sausage (bulk Italian, 1/4-1/2″ thick); cut into cubes
3 Tbsps of veggie oil
2 garlic cloves; chopped
1 pc of onion (large); chopped finely
1 tsp of salt
1 canned tomatoes (Italian-style, 16 oz)
1 canned tomato paste (6 oz)
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of leaf oregano
Sauce Ingredients:
10 pcs of tomatoes (large)
5 garlic cloves; chopped
2 tsps of salt
1 Tbsps of Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp of Flour
2 pcs of onions (large); chopped finely
1 Tbsp of veggie oil
1 tsp of oregano
1 Tbsps of sugar
1 Tbsps of wine vinegar
Sandwich each of the steak pieces between two pieces of waxed paper. Pound it ’til thin and can be rolled easily. Set aside.
Place a nonstick skillet with oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, saute the sausage ’til it turns light brown. Remove from heat and drain well.
Combine it with half a tsp of chopped fresh oregano, parsley, salt, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and chopped onions in a large bowl. Mix well.
Stretch out the individual steak pieces. Evenly spread about 2-3 Tbsps of the sausage mixture, and then roll it up. Either tie it with a thread or seal with a toothpick; and then assemble it in the crockpot.
Afterward, mix together the Italian-style tomatoes, salt, tomato paste, and oregano in a large bowl. Stir it well; and then pour it over the steak rolls. Set heat to low. Cook for 8-10 hours, covered.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce – combine all of the ingredients in another crockpot, excluding flour, wine vinegar, and a Tbsp of veggie oil. Mix ’til well-blended. Cover with lid. Set heat to low. Cook for 8-10 hours, stirring occasionally.
While waiting, combine the remaining ingredients (flour, wine vinegar, and a Tbsp of veggie oil) in a small bowl and whisk well ’til smooth. One hour into cooking completely, pour it onto the sauce. Stir occasionally for the rest of the cooking time.
When cooked, ladle the sauce into a blender and process ’til nearly smooth. May have to do it in batches. When all the sauce has been blended, return it to the crockpot. Cook sauce on low heat for another half hour ’til desired thickness is achieved, stirring occasionally.
When the steak rolls are cooked, take it out of the crockpot and transfer to a serving platter. Cut crosswise into half-inch slices. Pour sauce over and garnish with a sprig of parsley prior to serving.
