  6. Add grated cheese, garlic, salt and pepper to taste, nuts, oregano and rosemary to breadcrumbs.
  7. Stir to combine. Add on top of meat.
  8. Cut up eggs, add to center of breadcrumbs.
  9. Roll the beef tightly, cup up ends.
  10. Tie once lengthwise, and a few times around meat.
  11. Heat remaining oil in pan large enough to hold the meat. Brown all sides of meat on medium high heat.
  12. Remove meat, deglaze with wine.
  13. In a separate bowl add basil and paste to tomatoes, mix well. Put a little sauce on bottom of pan. Add meat back to pan.
  14. Pour remaining sauce over braciole.
  15. Add enough water or beef stock to come 2/3 of the way up meat.
  16. Add bay leaves and bring to a boil.
  17. Cover and reduce heat to simmer.
  18. Simmer for 2 hours, basting meat every now and then. Remove meat from pan, cover lightly and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
  19. If need be, continue to cook down sauce to thicken. After meat has cooled, cut off strings, slice and serve covered with sauce. Sauce is also great over pasta!
