It all starts with the craving of Italian recipes that take too long to prepare. Suddenly, with so little time and so many daily commitments, great meals, recipes that were handed down from generation to generation disappear. Until the Instant Pot brings them back baby! 

I am cooking every recipe I can in my Instant Pot until I get them perfected. Now I have prepared the recipe for Braciole with sauce at least 20 times, tweaking as I go. Today, I am about to reveal how to make a recipe that will make your mouth water for more.

As a Sicilian gal, tradition means continuing recipes that are not made often. You could totally make this for your Sunday Gravies or for a stand alone meat. The spirals it slices into are fantastic and the taste is beyond description!

Clear off your countertops, this meat will have you craving more and more each time you cook it and serve it. It may become the most requested dish in your house! Let’s cook Instant Pot Italian Braciole With Sauce. Lavishly live food out loud!

Instant Pot Italian Braciole With Sauce

The Braciole Tradition

You know, when you are brought up Italian, and your grandparents are right off the boat, and then you marry Italian and your Father-in-Law is right from Italy, you cook Italian! My Gramma Santa made the fiercest Braciole I have ever experienced.

The taste started the moment you popped a piece into your mouth, but the experience began the moment you entered her home.

If you know Italians, we love our spices. When you enter an Italian home if you don’t smell basil, garlic and onion, it’s not a true Italian home.  LOL.

While I do make light of it, you need to know that no matter what family function we would leave our clothes always smelled like the food. The food always was pleasurable and eating was done in large courses.

Good braciole easily falls off the rope it is tied with. In fact, the packets of meat are so flavor incredible you may not know how to initially react, kind of like a foodgasm in your mouth.

Tomato sauce transitions the taste into something over-the-top wonderful and the combination of ingredients make a full-bodied meat meal!

Recently, we traveled back to Italy to visit both Michael’s family who live there and mine. While our families are from 2 totally different parts of Italy traditions are so similar it makes me giddy! You see I knew I picked a good guy!

Tips & Hints Before You Start…

My recipe will yield 22 braciole, yours will vary based on the cut of meat your purchase and how many pieces are in the package, please adjust as necessary.

Also note, I always call for more breadcrumb rather than less, so that it is available to me when working on recipes. You can scale back if you prefer.

Most importantly, prep your Chef’s Twine before you start. Cut it and have it set up before you start, so know how many beef packets you are making. I often use 2 pieces per braciole. 

Boil and cool the eggs ahead of time. Keep yourself organized. You don’t want to work with a hot egg. The shells need to be off and you need to crush that egg so work ahead of this. 

The placement of ingredient does matter and rolling technique is different for everyone.  Layer however you want, I have my own way, so do each of you. 

You can tuck and roll, or roll and tuck the sides in, or just roll and tie with 2 pieces of twine. If you choose the latter method, do make sure to double up your Twine cut.

Place into the Instant Pot with Garlic and Oil. You are going to lightly saute a few of these to get them ready to cook. This is optional however. 

If you prefer to just cook without searing fine too. I prefer to let the garlic saute it seems to give it a more FULL flavor. All personal preference. Go easy on the OO.

Add all  of the packets in one by one. (however if you are browning you will need to add a few at a time, remove once browned and let the others take their turn at getting sauteed.

Then replace all the packets. Your choice.

      When I cook this, I start with a saute, WHY? Because it seals the juices in all the meat. I have found that if I just put the meat in (with the exception of meatballs) without sauteing the results are dryer food. So, I saute them, Put them all in at once and make sure that eat pieces gets sautes by alternating the bottom spot of the pot (liner). I just move them around one by one. You can just put a few in at a time and remove as you ‘brown’ quickly. and then stop Saute. And then put to COOK as directed. More questions, just let me know! They turn out perfect every time. I just did a batch of braciole for xmas!
