Flank Steak Roulade Savory and Flavorful Delight
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- to taste salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 kitchen twine or toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lay the flank steak flat on a clean surface and gently pound it with a meat mallet to even out the thickness, aiming for about ½ inch.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Spread the filling mixture evenly over the surface of the flank steak, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the flank steak tightly into a log shape. Use kitchen twine to tie it securely at intervals or secure it with toothpicks to hold it together.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roulade on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes total.
- Transfer the seared roulade to a baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Carefully cut the roulade into ½ inch thick slices and arrange them on a platter.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the slices on a bed of fresh arugula or mixed greens, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic reduction for an elegant touch. Garnish with fresh herbs for added color.
