Flank steak is tenderized and marinated, before being stuffed, rolled, and baked. Quick and easy to prepare with gourmet results.
Ingredients
- 2 (1 pound) flank steaks
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
Cheese Filling
- 10 slices bacon
- ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded Italian cheese blend
- ¼ cup cooked chopped spinach, squeezed very dry
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
Directions
Step 1
Sandwich the flank steaks between waxed paper and pound with a kitchen mallet to tenderize.
Step 2
Whisk olive oil, Italian seasoning, pepper, and garlic for marinade together in a small bowl. Pour into the bottom of a baking dish that's large enough to hold both steaks in a single layer. Add steaks so that one side is touching the marinade; do not flip to coat. Let sit while you prepare the filling.
Step 3
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly browned and not yet crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
Step 4
Mix cream cheese, Italian cheese, spinach, and garlic together in a bowl. Spread cheese mixture on the unmarinated side of the steaks. Place 5 bacon strips on top the cheese on each steak. Roll steaks up and pin with toothpicks to secure.
Step 5
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
Cook’s Note:
I pop it into the BBQ for the last 10 minutes of baking time for more flavor.
