  1. Serves 6 Traditionally topside is used for braciole, but we've taken inspiration from Mario Batali's beef fillet version.

  2. Preheat oven to 200C. Heat 30ml oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add onion, pancetta and garlic, stir occasionally until tender (5-7 minutes). Add herbs, stir until fragrant, remove from heat, cool slightly, add crumbs and currant mixture, season to taste.

  3. Place beef on a work surface, scatter over filling, roll beef to form a long cylinder, then tie at intervals with kitchen string to secure and cut widthways into six rounds.

  4. Preheat a char-grill pan over high heat. Drizzle beef with remaining oil, season to taste and grill until browned (1-2 minutes each side). Transfer to a baking tray, roast until cooked (7-10 minutes for medium-rare), set aside to rest (5 minutes).

  5. Meanwhile, for cavolo nero and parmesan salad, combine ingredients in a bowl and season to taste. Serve with beef.
