Etymology

Braciola can also mean a thin slice of meat rolled with a filling and cooked in sauce, and a helpful way to remember this is to think of that small piece of meat from the embers (brace) turned into a 'little roast' wrapped around herbs or cheese, which is why the name fits the rolled Italian dish.
