Prepare the steak by pounding it thin with a mallet.

Mix together bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, and add Italian sausage, mozzarella, and prosciutto for the filling.

Lay the filling on the steak, roll it up tightly, and secure with kitchen twine.

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat and sear the rolled steak on all sides until browned.

Remove the seared steak and set aside.

Add chopped onion to the Dutch oven and sauté until softened, then add minced garlic and sauté briefly.

Deglaze the pan with about 1 cup of red wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.

Add two cans of fire roasted crushed tomatoes (28 ounces each) to the pot.

Pour in 2 cups of beef stock and mix well, then add red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning.

Return the seared steak rolls to the pot and let simmer for a couple of hours.
