   Active Time 20 minutes    Additional Time 1 hour 30 minutes    Total Time 1 hour 50 minutes      

• 1 lb - 1.25lb Flank Steak
• Salt and Pepper
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/3 cup grated Provolone
• 1/3 cup Italian Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian Parsley
• 2 cloves pressed or finely chopped garlic
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup White Wine
• 3 cups Tomato Sauce
• *Butchers Twine

First heat your oven to 300 degrees.

Then get started by  pounding the flank steak to make it thinner. Pound it for about a minute  getting it as thin as possible. Then dust both sides with salt and  pepper.

Mix the Parmesan, Provolone, breadcrumbs, parsley, and  garlic together in a bowl. Then spread them out evenly on the top of the  flank steak.

Next roll up the steak, and tie it closed with 3-4  pieces of butcher's twine. Tie the twine tightly so that the filling  won't fall out of the steak as it cooks.

Then melt the butter in a  dutch oven over medium high heat, and brown the steak on all sides.  This will take about 8 minutes total, turning the steak every 2 minutes.

Once  the steak has been browned, add the white wine, and bring to a bubble.  Then pour the tomato sauce over the steak, and cover it with a lid, and  place it in the oven.

Roast the steak at 300 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, basting the steak every 30 minutes, by spooning the tomato sauce over it.

After  90 minutes, pull the dutch oven out of the oven, and let the braciole  rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. Remove the butcher's twine as you  slice. Serve immediately after slicing, spooning some of the tomato  sauce on top.

• ▢ 1 beef heart (1.5 lb.)
• ▢ 1 cup beef stock
• ▢ ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
• ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ▢ ½ teaspoon paprika
• ▢ ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ▢ 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• ▢ 1 teaspoon cornstarch
•  2 tablespoons chopped parsley  for garnish

• If the heart comes with a thick layer of fat, lightly trim it (but don't go nuts about it, you can leave a thin layer of fat). 
• Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut the heart into 1-inch cubes. Place them in the slow cooker pan.
• Add the beef stock. Sprinkle the meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
• Use  a slotted spoon to temporarily transfer the meat to a plate, and strain  the cooking liquids into a saucepan. Return the meat to the slow  cooker, cover, and set to warm.
• To  the liquids in the saucepan, add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, and 1  teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons of cold water. Cook over  medium heat, whisking often, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.  Remove from heat as soon as the sauce thickens.*

• 6 medium cloves garlic
• Kosher salt
• 1-1/2 lb. skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Tbs. canola oil or vegetable oil
• 2 oz. (4 Tbs.) unsalted butter
• 1 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

   Instructions 

• Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the side of a chef’s knife. Sprinkle the garlic lightly with salt and mince it.
• Pat the steak dry and season generously on both sides with salt and  pepper. In a heavy-duty 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high  heat until shimmering hot. Add the steak and brown well on both sides, 2  to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a plate  and let rest while you make the garlic butter.
• In an 8-inch skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic  and cook, swirling the pan frequently, until lightly golden, about 4  minutes. Lightly salt to taste.
• Slice the steak, if you like, and transfer to 4 plates. Spoon the  garlic butter over the steak, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve.

• ▢ 1 lb calves' liver (not mature beef liver*), thinly sliced
• ▢ ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ▢ 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced, slices separated into rings
• ▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil divided

• Arrange  the liver slices on a cutting board or on a couple of large plates.  Blot them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle them with salt, black pepper,  garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
• Heat  1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over  medium-high heat. Add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until  golden-brown, about 7 minutes. If the pan gets too hot, lower the heat  to medium.
• Remove the onions from the skillet with a slotted spoon. Place them on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Carefully  wipe the skillet clean with paper towels (it will be hot). Add the  remaining tablespoon of olive oil and lower the heat to medium. Add the  liver slices, in two batches if needed.
• Cook  the livers briefly, about 3 minutes per side. Don't overcook them or  they'll become tough and grainy**. If there are a few thicker or  misshapen slices or chunks, you can briefly cook them on the edges too.  But first, remove the already-cooked thin slices to a plate. 
• Arrange the cooked livers on a serving plate, top them with the sautéed onions, and serve.
