Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the beef by pounding each slice to a uniform thickness of about ¼ inch.
  2. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper to create the filling.
  3. Roll the beef around the filling tightly, securing with toothpicks or twine.
  4. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil and sear the beef rolls for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. Sauté onions and garlic in the same pot until soft, then add crushed tomatoes, oregano, and sugar.
  6. Return the rolls to the pot, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until fork-tender.
  7. Remove toothpicks, slice the rolls, and serve hot with the sauce.
