🛒 Ingredients (Servings: 4)
- 1.5 to 2 lbs flank steak, butterflied and pounded thin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 6–8 slices provolone cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs or chopped fresh parsley
- Butcher’s twine for tying
🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Steak:
🔪 Butterfly the flank steak by slicing it horizontally, stopping just before you cut all the way through. Open it like a book, then pound with a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and herbs.
2️⃣ Sauté the Spinach:
🥬 In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add spinach. Cook until wilted, then set aside to cool slightly.
3️⃣ Layer the Filling:
🧀 Lay the spinach evenly over the steak. Top with roasted red peppers and provolone slices, leaving about 1 inch border on all sides.
4️⃣ Roll & Tie:
🎀 Starting from the short side, tightly roll the steak into a log. Use butcher’s twine to tie the roll every 2 inches to secure.
5️⃣ Sear the Roll:
🔥 In an ovenproof skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high. Sear the steak roll on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
6️⃣ Roast & Serve:
🔥 Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F and roast for 20–25 minutes or until internal temp reaches 130°F for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
