SOUTHWESTERN FLANK STEAK
This flank steak is butterflied, and then rolled into a pinwheel shape, filled with spinach and roasted red peppers. If you ask your butcher to butterfly the flank steak, it will save you time and effort....most grocery stores offer this service at no charge. If you have to do it yourself, use a sharp knife to cut the steak in half, cutting almost to, but not completely through the opposite side to form a butterfly shape. Prep and cook time does not include the 8 hour marinating time.

- If you're using a flank steak, be sure to slice it against the grain before marinating. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it more flavorful.
- Don't over-marinate the steak. A few hours is all that's needed to infuse the meat with flavor. Over-marinating can actually toughen the meat.
- When you're ready to cook the steak, be sure to grill it over high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep the juices in.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices from running out.
