- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Remove steak from the freezer and season with salt and pepper. Turn the long side of the steak towards you and place on a flat work surface.

- Leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, layer prosciutto and provolone cheese over the entire steak. Top with bread crumb mixture, patting down to adhere. Roll steak up tightly starting at the small end. Use kitchen twine to tie steak in 1-inch increments taking care to tie tightly at both ends. Season with more salt and pepper and brush with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place steak carefully on a broiler pan.

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs is a good option.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and keep the inside tender. You can grill, pan-fry, or broil the steak.
- Don't overcook the steak: Flank steak is a thin cut of meat, so it is important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy. Cook the steak to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Slice the steak against the grain: When you slice the steak, be sure to cut against the grain. This will make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
- Serve the steak with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce can help to enhance the flavor of the steak. You can use a variety of sauces, but a simple chimichurri sauce or a horseradish sauce are good options.
