Stuffed Flank Steak Savory Dinner Delight
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak, butterflied
- 1 cup spinach, sautéed
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- to taste salt and pepper
- for searing tablespoon olive oil
- as needed kitchen twine or toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the spinach in a skillet over medium heat until wilted, about 3-4 minutes, then let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, ricotta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, minced garlic, and mozzarella cheese. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay the butterflied flank steak flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the steak, leaving about an inch around the edges.
- Carefully roll the flank steak away from you, starting from one of the long sides, to create a log shape.
- Secure the rolled steak with kitchen twine or toothpicks to hold the filling inside.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the flank steak roll on all sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing into pinwheels.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the pinwheels atop a bed of arugula or mixed greens, drizzled with a balsamic reduction for a touch of elegance. Garnish with sprigs of fresh basil and a sprinkle of parmesan for added flavor.
