Beef Braciola
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, stemmed, minced
2 Wegmans large eggs
3 Tbsp golden raisins
2 Tbsp Italian Classics Shredded Pecorino-Romano Cheese
1/2 cup Italian Classics Seasoned Bread Crumbs
3 Tbsp Italian Classics Pine Nuts, toasted
Wegmans Sea Salt and freshly cracker pepper
1 lb Wegmans 80% Lean Ground Beef
2 pkgs (1-1 1/2 lbs each) Top Round Beef Cutlets
Wegmans Pan Searing Flour
2 Tbsp Wegmans Pure Olive Oil
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
2 jars (24 oz each) Italian Classics Grandma's Pomodoro Sauce or 2 pkgs Classics Seasoned Tomato Sauce
You'll need: Braising pan
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Prepare filling: add garlic, parsley, eggs, raisins, cheese, bread crumbs, pine nuts, salt and pepper to ground beef. Mix well with hands until well-blended.
Lay cutlets flat on work surface. Place about 1/3 cup filling on lower 1/3 of cutlet. Roll up cutlets; season with salt and pepper. Dust with pan-searing flour; pat off excess.
Heat oil in large braising pan on MEDIUM-HIGH, until oil faintly smokes. Add beef rolls, seam-side down, to pan. Turn over when meat changes color one-quarter of way up and seared side has turned paper-bag brown, about 3-4 min. Sear other side about 2 min, until brown. Remove from pan.
Remove excess drippings from pan, leaving about 1 Tbsp in pan. Lower heat to MEDIUM; add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits on bottom of pan. Add tomato sauce; stir to combine.
Return meat to pan. Bring liquid to 180-degree simmer; check using thermometer. Cover; place in oven. Braise 2 hours, until meat is very tender.
(To toast pine nuts, preheat oven to 375 degrees and place nuts in dry pan. Toast 5-6 min, until golden brown.)

20 oz acorn squash, cleaned & cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large peeled shallot, 1/2-inch dice
