Looking for italian beef recipe

[poppy]

Anyone have a good one? I'm not talking about the beef, italian dressing mix, and peppers in a crock pot. I know that is tasty too, but it is not the same. I mean the real italian beef you get in some restaurants and at stands at festivals etc.

Dunno if this is what you're looking for, but it's something we put together (a "recipe" from our old Italian landlord, many, many years ago....) called *Braciole* (sp)...

-flank steak pounded quite thin (to make "roll ups")

-filling for roll ups: bread crumb, chopped garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper)

-marinara sauce

-fill beef with crumb mixture and roll up and secure with toothpick or string.

-heat olive oil in pan and fry the roll ups on all sides til nicely browned but not cooked thru

-have the marinara sauce heating and put the roll ups in to braise in the sauce til done, about 30-40 mins.


Oh yum...haven't made tis in years, but now I've got the urge!!!

I know that on foodnetwork, the "real" Italian beef places cook their roasts in the oven and then slice thin. Looks delish!

This was spot on....TY so much! Made 2 the other day, the second one after sitting 2 days was absolutely incredible!! Worked at a Chicago hot dog and beef place starting at age 12...this is the closest I have ever come to duplicating the taste. If I could have put my hands on a true Italian loaf it would have been perfect!!
