1. For the braciola: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the pine nuts in a small skillet over low heat until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Cool and chop.
2. Combine the bread and 2 cups warm water in a medium bowl, then let soak until softened, about 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water, then add to a large bowl with the Parmesan, parsley, garlic, eggs, scallions and pine nuts and mix to combine well. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper.
3. Set the flank steak on a cutting board. Use a knife to score the steak down the middle against the grain, cutting only halfway through its thickness. Working from the center out toward the edges, cut thin flaps from the score to the edge, like a gatefold. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
4. Layer the prosciutto over the steak, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer the provolone over the prosciutto. Pat the stuffing in an even layer over the provolone. Roll the steak around the fillings like a jelly roll, from short side to short side. Tie closed at 2-inch intervals around the circumference with kitchen twine. Tie 1 more piece of twine lengthwise around the meat. Sprinkle the outside of the braciola with salt and pepper.

1. Filling: Preheat oven to 350 F. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated cheese, pistachios, raisins, red pepper flakes, and ground fennel seed. Use a Microplane to grate garlic cloves into the bowl. Pour in olive oil and stir to combine, then add lemon zest and combine again: the filling should feel like wet sand.
2. Beef: Place flank steak on a sheet of plastic wrap, and cover with another sheet of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin to pound meat, flattening to about ¼-inch to ½-inch thick. Set aside. Heat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium low heat. Remove top sheet of plastic from the steak. Spread half of the filling evenly over the steak. (Use remaining filling as stuffing for steak, chicken, or vegetables, or freeze for up to 2 months.) Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture into the steak; push in any stray raisins along the edges or they will burn in the pan. Starting with the thicker side of the meat, roll up the steak like a cigar, using the plastic to keep the roll tight. Wrap the rolled braciole in plastic to hold it together. Set aside.
3. Truss: Cut four 12-inch strips of twine to tie the braciole. Place them on a flat surface, 2 inches apart and parallel to one another. Gently remove plastic wrap from the braciole, and lay the meat on top of twine, seam side up. Tie the outer strings first to keep the roll in place, and work inwards, finishing with the middle strings.
4. Turn heat to high and heat the oil. Season braciole generously with salt and place in the pot; it should sizzle when it touches the oil. Turn heat down to medium-low and add rosemary sprigs to the oil on either side of the braciole. Brown meat on three sides, 2 minutes per side. Before browning meat on the 4th side, smash garlic cloves and add to pot to infuse the oil (you can leave the skins on). At this time, remove and discard the rosemary sprigs.
