Introduction: Stuffed Flank Steak
In this instructable, I will show you how to make stuffed flank steak.
Step 1: Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:
2-2 1/2 lbs of flank steak
Provolone cheese (I used 9 slices, but you will need enough to cover the entire steak)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp basil
1 tsp rubbed sage
2 tbsp parsley
1/2 tbsp garlic, minced
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
toothpicks
butchers string
Step 2: In a Medium Bowl
Mix together 2 tbsp olive oil and all of the seasonings except for the salt and pepper.
Step 3: 1/2 the Flank
Slice the flank steak in half.
Step 4: Pound the Flank Steak
Place the flank steak in between to pieces of waxed paper and pound as thin as you can get it.
Step 5: Season
Spread the seasonings evenly over the steak.
Step 6: Top It With the Cheese
Layer the cheese over the top.
Step 7: Prepping the Toothpicks
Soak the toothpicks in a bowl of water.
Step 8: Roll It Up
Roll the flank steak as tight as you can.
Step 9: Tie It Off
Starting in the middle and working your way out, tie the butcher's string around the steak.
Step 10: Keep on With the Tying
Tie several more strings down the meat until it is completely secure.
Step 11: Slice the Meat
Cut slices of the meat between the strings
Step 12: Double Secure
Put a toothpick into each section of the slice meat.
Step 13: Fry It Up!
Using the last of the olive oil, fry both sides of the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side and season both with the salt and pepper.
Step 14: Now for the Second Cooking
Remove from the skillet and place on an oven safe dish.
Step 15: Bake!
Bake in an oven that's preheated 400• for 10 minutes.
Step 16: Don't Eat the String and Tooth Pick!
Remove the string and toothpick.
Step 17: Enjoy!

On the menu for Sunday supper. I try new recipes on the weekends so that my wife (stay-at-home mom) gets a break from menu planning and so the kids can try different foods. I've grown up eating pinwheel or stuffed steak (depending on who was making it). We had German beef roulade a few weekends ago and it was a hit - so we'll try this one now.

I do the same, but layer baby spinach leaves before covering with the cheese. Meat, veggies & dairy all in one.

We love flank steak, when first married in '69, it was considered a lesser cut and was fairly inexpensive, now going for over $12 a pound, I've seen filets going for less, go figure. ☺
