Braciolone is an Italian roulade meat dish consisting of braised beef, veal or pork that is filled with cheese, salami, hard-boiled eggs, and breadcrumbs and then rolled.123 It is typically served topped with a tomato-based sauce.1 Various additional ingredients can be used, such as garlic, parsley, walnuts, and pork lard, among others.14 The hard-boiled eggs are sometimes placed in the center of the roll, which provides a "bull's-eye" appearance when the dish is sliced.2 It has been described as a large-sized braciola-style dish.35
Braciolone is also a dish in Sicilian cuisine and the cuisine of the U.S. state of Louisiana.4678
