Steps:
- Cook carrots in a saucepan of boiling salted water until barely tender, 6 to 8 minutes, then drain (carrots will continue to cook as they cool). When cool, cut each section lengthwise into 3 pieces.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving fat. Stir together bacon, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, clove, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons fat in a bowl until combined well.
- Put steak on 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap (each about 2 feet long) with a short side of steak nearest you. Holding a sharp knife parallel to work surface and beginning on a long side, butterfly steak by cutting it almost in half horizontally (not all the way through), then open it like a book.
- Turn steak so a long side is nearest you, then arrange spinach evenly over steak, leaving a 1-inch border along edge farthest from you. Top spinach with carrot pieces, arranging them parallel to long side and spacing them evenly, then sprinkle evenly with bread crumb mixture.
- Beginning with side nearest you and using plastic wrap as an aid, roll up steak, gently pressing on filling (do not roll too tightly or filling will slip out from ends), then tie steak crosswise with string at 3/4-inch intervals. Season with salt and pepper.
- To cook steak using a charcoal grill:
- Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a heaping chimneyful of charcoal and pour it evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of charcoal).
- When charcoal turns grayish white (15 to 20 minutes from lighting) and you can hold your hand 5 inches above top rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear steak on all sides on lightly oiled rack over coals until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Move steak to side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into thickest part of steak registers 125°F, 15 to 20 minutes total.
- To cook steak using a gas grill:
- Preheat all burners on high, then adjust heat to moderately high. Sear steak on all sides on lightly oiled rack over flames until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Turn off burner directly below steak and cook, covered with lid, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into thickest part of steak registers 125°F, 25 to 30 minutes total.
- Carve steak:
- Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand, covered loosely with foil, 20 minutes. Beef will continue to cook as it stands, reaching 130°F (medium-rare). Discard string, being careful not to unroll steak, and cut steak into 1/2-inch-thick slices with a sharp knife.
- Available at hardware stores and some specialty foods shops.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE
Steps:
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for indirect grilling. If charcoal, set the coals on one side of the charcoal grate, leaving the other side cool. If gas, turn one or two burners on high, leaving the other side cool. Lay the steak on a cutting board, and pound it out until it is about ¼-inch thick. Sprinkle with salt (keeping in mind that the blue cheese is a little salty) and pepper. With one long side toward you, cover the steak with spinach to within an inch of the other edge. Top with crumbled blue cheese. Working from the long side that is toward you, roll the steak, tucking the spinach and blue cheese in as you go. Set seam side down on the cutting board, and tie, at about 2-inch intervals, with kitchen twine. Make sure the roll is tied close to both ends to keep the stuffing in. Season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grate using tongs and a paper towel soaked in oil. Sear the stuffed steak directly over the coals, about 3 minutes per side, treating it as if it had 4 sides. Once it's seared, move the steak to the cool side of the grill and lower the lid. Let it cook for 25 to 35 minutes, or until it's reached an internal temperature of 130 degrees for medium rare. Remove the steak to a warm platter, and tent with foil for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice the steak into ½-inch pinwheels, 2 to 3 per person.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, shallot, parsley, sage, and olive oil. Set aside. Lay out two long pieces of plastic wrap side by side and place flank steak on plastic wrap. Butterfly cut steak. (Lay flank stake out flat and slice in half horizontal, from side to side, stopping before you get to the edge. Open it up and your steak will suddenly be twice as the size). Ask your butcher or store butcher to do this to save you time! Place two more pieces of plastic wrap on top of steak. Pound flank steak into rough rectangle with a meat hammer or gently with a clean nail hammer so as to not pound a hole in it . Remove top plastic wrap. Spread garlic and herb oil over steak. Top with prosciutto. Place provolone on top of prosciutto, leaving a boarder around steak without cheese. Like cinnamon rolls, working with the wide end, roll up steak into a pinwheel. Cut 12 (8 inch) pieces of string. Tie up each end of steak roll. Then use the remaining string to tie up the steak into 1 inch pieces, working from outside edges to inside. Once steak is tied up, then roll log so that the seam is facing you. Place a skewer between each of the strings and on each end, making sure to skewer the edges to secure them. Slice the steak between the skewers and snip off the strings. Salt and pepper each side of the pinwheels. Cook on a preheated and oiled grill for approximately 4 - 5 minutes per side, depending on how done you want your steaks. You can also cook these on foil or a grilling mat. Once cooked, remove from grill, and let sit for 3 - 5 minutes. You can cover them with foil if you wish. Remove the skewers and devour!

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, tenderize the flank steak before grilling. Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to gently pound the steak until it is about 1/4-inch thick.
- For a more flavorful filling, use a combination of spinach, blue cheese, and sautéed mushrooms.
- To prevent the filling from falling out, roll the flank steak tightly and secure it with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Grill the flank steak over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- Let the flank steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
