Ingredients
- 1 lb. flank steak, trimmed of fat
- Salt and pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 1.5 cups spinach, packed, chopped
- .5 cups basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, packed in water, chopped
- 3/4 cup part skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 tsp. olive oil
Instructions
- Pound the flank steak out until it is ¼ thick or butterfly it. *You can also ask the butcher to do this for you)
- Season both sides of steak well with salt and pepper,
- Rub one side of the steak with garlic clove.
- Layer the spinach, basil, and sundried tomatoes evenly across the steak, leaving 1 inch around edges. Top with cheese.
- Start at one edge and roll up tightly.
- Secure using toothpicks or a kabob skewers. (If you use toothpicks soak them in water for 20 minutes prior to make sure they don’t catch on fire.)
- Brush the outside of the steak with oil.
- Option 1: Cut the steak into 8 portions and grill or pan sear each for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Option 2: Grill the entire rolled steak whole. It will take about 15-20 minutes for medium rare and you will need to flip it throughout to prevent burning. Let rest, tented in foil, for ten minutes before slicing and serving.
