Ingredients
- 1+1/2 lb lbs of flank steak, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
- 1/2 cup wilted spinach
- 1/4 cup chopped grilled red pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped feta cheese
- 2 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon regular olive oil
Instructions
- Place flank steak between two sheets of wax paper and pound it flat with a meat mallet (not too thin) or the bottom of a pan. (If you don?t know how to do this, you can ask your local butcher shop to do it for you!)
- Depending upon the size and thickness of the steak, you may want to use a smaller piece and butterfly it as part of the tenderizing process.
- In pan over medium heat wilt the fresh spinach leaves with the garlic and oil, and drain off the excess liquid. Spread out on baking sheet and set aside to cool.
- Remove top layer of wax paper from tenderized steak and season with salt, pepper and if you have a favorite rub you think will go with the other flavors.
- Spread spinach, chopped pepper and feta cheese on steak.
- Roll up jellyroll-style and wrap with butchers net or tie with kitchen twine every 2-3 inches to keep it rolled up.
- Method 1: Roast
- Spritz sides of roll with canola oil and place on HOT (500+F degree) clean grates and sear for about 2-3 minutes until the meat releases, re-sprits and continue on all sides until the surface of the roll is seared.
