Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed, drained and squeezed dry)
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup chopped pickled pepperoncini pepper
2 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (I prefer 1-2 cloves minced fresh)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (1 1/2 lb) flank steaks
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Combine first 6 ingredients and set aside.
  • Trim fat from steak.
  • Cut horizontally through center of steak, cutting to, but not through, the other side and open flat, like a book; place between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap and flatten to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  • Spread spinach mixture over steak, leaving a 1-inch margin around outside edges and roll up, jelly-roll fashion, starting with short side; secure with heavy string at 2-inch intervals.
  • Coat a large Dutch oven with cooking spray and heat at medium-high until hot (I drizzle the pan with olive oil, rather than using cooking spray).
  • Add steak, browning well on all sides; add broth, wine, water, and oregano and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until tender, turning meat once; add additional water during cooking if necessary.
  • Remove string and cut steak into 8 slices; serve with cooking liquid.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb flank steak or round steak works - tenderized ( flank steak is best )
garlic salt
salt & pepper
FILLING
4 - 5 oz cream cheese, softened
1 jar(s) 12 ounces - roasted red pepper, drained and chopped
3 clove garlic, chopped or minced
1 tsp oregano
cracked pepper
4 oz feta cheese
fresh spinach leaves
olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Lay steak out flat. With a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound flank steak into 9 by 10 inch rectangle, pounding thin ends to 1/4 inch thickness. Do the same if using round steak. I was able to find a large butterflied piece. Salt and pepper to taste. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic, oregano, and cracked pepper. Mix until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture over the steak; leaving 3 inch wide plain border along one long side. Evenly spread spinach and feta cheese over the cream cheese.
  • 2. Roll the steak up from the long edge, like a jellyroll. Place seam side down in an oiled baking dish with sides. Rub with olive oil, sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper and garlic salt.
  • 3. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until cooking thermometer reaches 145 degree F. or desired doneness. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes
  • 4. Place on a serving platter,cut into 1 inch slices and serve warm.

Tips

  • Use a sharp knife to score the steak. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.
  • Don't overstuff the steak. Too much filling will make it difficult to roll and cook evenly.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to secure the steak closed. This will help keep the filling in place while cooking.
  • Cook the steak over medium heat. This will help prevent the meat from becoming tough.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.

Conclusion

Greek stuffed flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its flavorful filling and tender meat, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook flank steak, give this recipe a try!
