Steps:
- Sandwich the flank steaks between waxed paper and pound with a kitchen mallet to tenderize.
- Whisk olive oil, Italian seasoning, pepper, and garlic for marinade together in a small bowl. Pour into the bottom of a baking dish that's large enough to hold both steaks in a single layer. Add steaks so that one side is touching the marinade; do not flip to coat. Let sit while you prepare the filling.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly browned and not yet crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Mix cream cheese, Italian cheese, spinach, and garlic together in a bowl. Spread cheese mixture on the unmarinated side of the steaks. Place 5 bacon strips on top the cheese on each steak. Roll steaks up and pin with toothpicks to secure.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler or prepare barbecue.
- Season steak with garlic salt and pepper.
- Score steak diagonally twice, reversing direction creating "x"s or crisscross pattern.
- Place bacon lengthwise over steak and sprinkle with parsley.
- Roll steak lengthwise, securing with toothpicks at 1-inch intervals.
- Broil or grill, turning frequently until browned on all sides and cooked to degree of doneness desired (20 minutes for med rare).
- While steak is grilling/broiling, cook mushroom and onion slices in bacon grease in same skillet for 15-20 minutes or until browned to desired doneness.
- When steak is done remove toothpicks and cut meat into 8 1-inch rounds and top with mushroom and onion slices.
Tips:
- Choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling.
- Use a sharp knife to score the steak against the grain. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and make it more tender.
- Make sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to flavor the meat and make it more juicy.
- Cook the steak over high heat to get a nice sear on the outside. Then, reduce the heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Bacon-stuffed flank steak is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, and the results are sure to wow your guests. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your steak is cooked perfectly.
