# What You'll Need:

→ Beef and Filling

01 - 680 g thinly sliced flank steak
02 - 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
03 - 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 50 g breadcrumbs
05 - 40 g sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
06 - 1 clove garlic, minced
07 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
08 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
09 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Sauce and Cooking

10 - 480 ml marinara sauce
11 - Olive oil, for drizzling

→ Garnish

12 - Fresh parsley, chopped

# Directions:

01 - Set oven temperature to 175°C and allow it to preheat fully.
02 - Arrange flank steak slices flat on a cutting board. Gently pound slices to an even, thin consistency for optimal tenderness.
03 - In a bowl, combine spinach, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Ensure mixture is well integrated.
04 - Spread filling evenly over each steak slice, leaving a 1.5 cm margin along edges. Carefully roll each slice tightly from one end and secure using kitchen twine or toothpicks.
05 - Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Place beef rolls seam side down and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until evenly browned.
06 - Pour marinara sauce evenly over the seared beef rolls. Cover skillet with a lid or foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes until beef is tender and filling is heated through.
07 - Remove skillet from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove twine or toothpicks and slice rolls into rounds.
08 - Arrange sliced beef braciole on serving plates. Spoon additional marinara sauce over the top and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, use flank steak slices of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
