SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE-STUFFED FLANK STEAK
I'm always looking for great recipes and experiment alot. Every once in awhile, I discover one that just cries out to be shared. The following is just such a recipe. It really is very easy, but the flavor and presentation is quite "gourmet". My wife and I had it for dinner last night with nothing more than a side dish of herbed and garlic scalloped potatoes and a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. It was YUMMY!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place the thawed spinach in the center of a kitchen towel. Holding the towel over the sink, twist it to squeeze excess water out of the spinach.
- Open the towel and place the spinach in a food processor, along with the pine nuts, blue cheese, and garlic. Pulse until the ingredients form a thick paste.
- Place the flank steak flat on a work surface and using your fingers and/or a silicone spatula, spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the entire steak.
- Roll the steak into a cylinder and, using kitchen twine, tie the roll securely about every two inches.
- Mix one tablespoons olive oil with seasoning salt, pepper and liquid smoke. Brush mixture over the whole outer surface of the steak roll.
- In a large, deep skillet over medium-high, heat the remaining oil. Add the steak roll and sear one side for about 1 1/2 minutes. Use tongs to rotate the roll 1/4 turn, searing for another 1 1/2 minutes. Continue until all sides are seared.
- Transfer the roll to a rack, place on a baking sheet or pan and place in oven to roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roll reads 140 degrees F.
- Remove from oven, let stand for 5 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Steps:
- To make the stuffing: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook until aromatic, a few minutes more. Remove from the heat, and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the olives, herbs, pine nuts, and currants. Set aside to cool.
- To prepare the flank steaks for stuffing; place one of the steaks on a work surface, cover it loosely with a piece of plastic wrap, and use a meat pounder to pound the steak until about 1/3 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, score the steak in a crisscross pattern, making 3 to 4 shallow cuts in each direction, being sure not to cut all the way through. Turn the steak over, and spread half the stuffing evenly over the unscored surface of the steak. Roll up the steak lengthwise, like a jelly roll. Using kitchen twine, tightly tie the steak to keep it securely rolled up. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining steak and stuffing.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pour about 2 tablespoons of oil into a large roasting pan. Place over two burners over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the steaks and sear on all sides, turning with tongs, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove steaks from pan, transfer to a plate, and set aside. Discard any fat in the pan and scrape out and discard any burned bits that may have escaped from the stuffing. Return the steaks to the pan, place in the oven, and roast, uncovered, for 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the steaks, and continue to roast until the internal temperature of the steaks reads between 120 degrees.and 130 degrees.on an instant-read thermometer, about 8 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and allow the steaks to rest for 5 to 8 minutes. Cut, and remove the twine. Transfer steaks to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut them into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Arrange the slices on a platter, and pour any accumulated pan juices over the top. Serve with tomato confit.

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has a nice, even marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Pound the steak: Pounding the steak helps to tenderize it and make it more even in thickness. This will help it cook evenly.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the steak: Flank steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking it will make it tough and chewy. Cook it for just a few minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: Letting the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. This will make it more tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
Martha Stewart's Spinach Stuffed Flank Steak is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of tender flank steak, flavorful spinach stuffing, and tangy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
