Sicilian Brasciole à la Lena

1 . Stage

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and parsley, and continue cooking until onions begin to brown. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

2 . Stage

In a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, Romano cheese, raisins, pine nuts, and pepper.

3 . Stage

Pound steak to 1/2-inch thickness with a moistened mallet or the side of a cleaver. Spread onion mixture evenly over meat, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Spread bread crumb mixture in an even layer, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roll up from the narrow end and tie tightly with kitchen twine.

4 . Stage

Heat remaining olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown steak on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Pour in spaghetti sauce, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 2 hours or until tender.
