Braciole Bites

Instructions

• Arrange the beef in a single layer on a large platter. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt, then drizzle with ¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil. Turn the pieces of beef over and sprinkle with another ½ teaspoon salt and another ¼ cup olive oil. Let sit while you prepare the bread crumb mixture.
• Add the bread crumbs, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, the parsley, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and garlic powder to a large, shallow bowl and mix together. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix until the bread crumbs are lightly coated, but not greasy.
• Working with one piece at a time, lift the beef and let the excess olive oil drip off. Place in the bread crumb mixture and press into the crumbs to coat both sides. Set the beef down in the crumbs and place a piece of provolone cheese on. Starting from a short side, roll tightly. Thread the beef roll onto a 12-inch metal skewer, and repeat with the rest of the beef, 6–7 rolls per skewer.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a large flat-top pan or griddle over high heat. Working in batches, place the skewers in the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, until the braciole are browned and cooked through. Add more olive oil between batches, if needed.
• Serve immediately garnished with more parsley.
• Enjoy!
