SPINACH AND CARROT STUFFED FLANK STEAK



Spinach and Carrot Stuffed Flank Steak image

Categories     Beef     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     Bacon     Spinach     Carrot     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium carrots, cut crosswise into thirds
6 bacon slices, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 (2 1/2-lb) flank steak, trimmed
1/2 lb spinach, stems discarded
Special equipment: kitchen string

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.

ROLLED FLANK STEAK



Rolled Flank Steak image

I searched and searched for just the right rolled flank steak recipe and couldn't find it. So, I created my own! This was a big hit when I made it for company.

Provided by ANGELSHARK

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 5h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2 pound) beef flank steak
¼ cup soy sauce
½ cup olive oil
2 teaspoons steak seasoning
8 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese
4 slices thick cut bacon
½ cup fresh spinach leaves
½ cup sliced crimini mushrooms
½ red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

Steps:

  • Place the flank steak on a cutting board with the short end closest to you. Starting from one of the long sides, cut through the meat horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the opposite edge. (You can also ask your butcher to butterfly the flank steak for you instead of cutting it yourself.)
  • Mix the soy sauce, olive oil, and steak seasoning together in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Marinate flank steak in the refrigerator 4 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a glass baking dish.
  • Lay out the flank steak flat in front of you with the grain of the meat running from left to right. Layer the provolone across the steak, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the bacon, spinach, red pepper, and mushrooms across the cheese covered steak in stripes running in the same direction as the grain of the meat. Roll the flank steak up and away from you, so that when the roll is cut into the pinwheel shape, each of the filling ingredients can be seen. Roll firmly, but be careful not to squeeze the fillings out the ends. Once rolled, tie every 2 inches with kitchen twine.
  • Place in prepared baking dish, and bake in preheated oven for one hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into 1 inch slices. Be sure to remove the twine before serving!

SPINACH AND PARMESAN STUFFED FLANK STEAK



Spinach and Parmesan Stuffed Flank Steak image

Make and share this Spinach and Parmesan Stuffed Flank Steak recipe from Food.com.

Provided by ellie3763

Categories     Spinach

Time 50m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups Baby Spinach
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove
1 1/2 cups grated cheese (Parmesan, mozzarella, and asiago)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (1 1/2-2 lb) flank steaks
1/2 cup A.1. Original Sauce or 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a food processor, pulse the spinach, onions, and garlic. Add the cheeses, oregano, salt and pepper and pulse until just combined.
  • Butterfly the steak and open it like a book. The steak should be about 1/2 inch thick. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture to within about 1 inch of the edges. Roll up the steak jelly roll style and tie at 2 inch intervals with kitchen twine.
  • Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to an ovenproof saute pan over medium high heat. Saute the steak in the pan until brown on all sides, about 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Brush the steak with the A-1 Steak Sauce and transfer to the oven. Roast for about 15 minutes.
  • Turn the steak over, baste again with the sauce and roast an additional 10 minutes or until 125 - 130 degrees for medium rare. Remove from pan and place on a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for about 5 - 10 minutes.
  • Slice in rounds with a sharp knife and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak. Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 pounds and is at least 1 inch thick. The steak should be evenly marbled with fat and have a deep red color.
  • Prepare the flank steak properly. Score the steak against the grain in a crisscross pattern. This will help the marinade penetrate the steak and make it more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade for the flank steak should be flavorful and acidic. This will help to tenderize the steak and add flavor.
  • Cook the flank steak over high heat. Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it remains tender and juicy. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the flank steak rest before slicing. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak and make it more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Spinach and carrot stuffed flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The flank steak is tender and juicy, and the spinach and carrot stuffing is flavorful and nutritious. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
