Italian Braciole *

2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup EVOO
1 1/2 pounds top sirloin steak
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
6 slices prosciutto
2 Tbsp EVOO
24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 325.  In medium bowl, combine 2/3 cup parmesan, bread crumbs, 1/3 cup parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup EVOO.  Stir until mixed and set aside.  Trim any excess fat off sirloin.  Cut sirloin pieces to make 6 equal pieces.  Flatten each sirloin piece with mallet to 1/4 inch thickness.  Season both sides of filets with salt and pepper.  Place a slice of prosciutto on top of each filet.  Evenly divide parmesan filling over each slice.  Carefully roll up each slice to make a roulade.  Place toothpick in each piece to keep closed.  In a large skillet, heat EVOO over medium high heat.  Transfer beef to skillet and sear on all sides until a golden brown crust forms, about 2-3 minutes on each side.  Transfer browned roulades into 9x13 dish.  Arrange them into a single layer.  Pour spaghetti sauce evenly, making sure each piece is covered.  Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake until beef is very tender, about 45 minutes.  Remove the foil and remove toothpicks.  Sprinkle with parmesan and parsley and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
