Braciole messinesi is a traditional Sicilian dish originating from Messina. The dish is usually made with a combination of beef, garlic, caciocavallo cheese, stale bread, Pecorino, parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. The bread is grated and mixed with parsley, pecorino, garlic, and olive oil.

The meat is seasoned with salt, rolled in the breadcrumb mixture, stuffed with caciocavallo, rolled in breadcrumbs again, and then placed on a skewer. Four beef slices are usually placed on one skewer, and the skewers are then placed over a grill until the meat is fully cooked.

These Messina-style skewers are served piping hot, often with lemon wedges and a fresh green salad on the side.
