Tenderized the meat on both sides. Lay flat the meat on a wood plank, cover them with plastic and slam them on each side with a meat hammer or a rolling pin.
Lay flat the tenderized piece of meat, place a slice of provolone cheese on it, add a slice of prosciutto ham and on top add some filling into one side of it all.
Take one side of the meat a start rolling over the filling and continue rolling until the end of the meat. Place a toothpick through or use some butcher twine to keep it close.
There is two-step to cook perfectly the Braciole. First, add some vegetable oil into a hot skillet, add the Braciole roll and sear the roll on each side.
When the rolls are nicely colored, place the rolls into a deep baking dish and remove the toothpick or the twine.
Now add on top of the Braciole, the tomato Passata, the crushed garlic, the basil, the oregano, salt, pepper and the water (chicken bouillon).
Place the baking dish uncovered in the oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. The meat will melt into your mouth.
