Pork Braciole with Pesto Drizzle

Pork Braciole in a white plate drizzled with Pesto Sauce

Italian Pork Braciole Stuffed with Prosciutto and Ground Beef feels special enough for Sunday dinner but is still simple enough for a cozy weeknight at home.

Pair this dish with one of my side dishes like, Italian Sauteed Rapini, Italian Stove Top Peas and Mushrooms, or Sauteed Kale and Potatoes.

Pound out pork fillets using a mallet covered with a resealable bag for easy cleaning.

If pan frying secure the pork braciole with twine so that it does not unravel during the cooking process.

For extra flavor, sear the braciole in a pan before baking.
