The protagonist of the dish, together with the meat, is theextra virgin olive oil: main condiment of our local culture, able to sublimate all the ingredients with which it is associated, here mixed with equal quantities of hot water and used to “wrap” the beef, previously browned in the pan with sautéed parsley, capers , anchovy filletschopped onion and garlic, then cook in the prepared emulsion for more than 2 hours.
The result will be a very tender and melt-in-the-mouth roast, to be cut into not too thin slices and drizzled with an appetizing sauce, obtained by mixing the baking basefiltered and reduced over the heat, with a generous handful of grated parmesan, breadcrumbs and fresh parsley cut with a knife.

You can also prepare it if you want in advance or you can use the rest to make delicious sandwiches.
To make this preparation we opted for the priest’s hat: an inexpensive, but very tasty cut, which thanks to the slight vein of fat will be very soft to bite into.
