4 Thin sliced beef top round steak for Braciole (2 packages with 2 steaks in each)

Filling Ingredients:
These measurements can be adjusted to your taste.

6 cloves Fresh garlic or to taste – minced fine or grated
1/4 cup Onion – minced fine
1/4 cup Fresh basil – chopped fine
1/4 tsp Fresh oregano – chopped fine

Directions:

In bowl mix all above filling ingredients EXCEPT oil, mix well.
Add just enough oil to hold filling together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Place steaks slice on board and cover with wax paper.
Pound with flat side of mallet (or back of heavy pan) thinned down to about 1/8 inch, making sure not to tear.
Spread 1/4 of the filling on 3/4 of the steak closest to you.
Roll steak jellyroll style to the end.
Secure the roll with butchers twine about 1 inch apart (or butcher's 1/2 hitch) till you reach the end.
After tying every inch to the end of roll turn over, wrap twine around the whole length from end to end, and secure with a knot (to hold the roll tight and keep filling in)

Note: You can substitute Pork skins (fresh pork rind) for the beef to make Pork Braciole "Cotenna". You may need to simmer a bit longer till nice and soft.
