Steps:
- Combine all the stuffing ingredients in a food processor and process until they form a smooth paste, about 45 to 60 seconds.
- Prepare the flank steak by placing between plastic and pounding to a thickness of 1/3 inch; score on one side in a criss-cross pattern.
- Turn steak over and season well with salt and pepper.
- Smooth all but 1 tablespoon of the stuffing over the entire steak; reserved stuffing will be used later in a sauce.
- Roll steak up and tie with kitchen twine in about 3 places.
- Place the steak, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least two hours up to overnight (you want the outside to dry a bit and the inside to marinate).
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and bring the steak to room temperature.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat; season steak on all sides generously with salt and pepper and sear well, in a little oil, on all sides.
- Meanwhile combine reserved stuffing, water, mustard, garlic, rosemary, and oils in a roasting pan or baking dish; place a rack for the meat on top.
- Place meat on rack, brush with pan juices, and roast to an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
- Let rest about 15 minutes, then slice into 1/4 inch slices; drizzle with pan sauce and more extra virgin olive oil if desired.

- Don't overcook the steak. Flank steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and chewy.
- Slice the steak against the grain. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it easier to chew.
- Let the steak rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy steak.
- Experiment with different marinades and rubs. This is a great way to add flavor to the steak and make it your own.
