Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 roll kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the flank steak flat on a clean cutting board. Use a sharp knife to butterfly the steak by cutting horizontally into the steak, stopping just short of slicing all the way through. Open it like a book and flatten it out to an even thickness.
Season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until wilted. Transfer the spinach to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, add the crumbled blue cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped parsley to the spinach. Stir to combine.
Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the surface of the butterflied steak, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the steak into a log. Secure the roll by tying it at 2-inch intervals with the kitchen twine.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rolled steak on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the steak into rounds and serve warm.
