Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the flank steak on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to butterfly it: slice horizontally through the steak, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge, so it opens up like a book.
Cover the steak with plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound it to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cooked spinach, feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the surface of the prepared flank steak, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Carefully roll the steak tightly into a log, starting from one of the long sides. Use kitchen twine to tie the roll at 2-inch intervals to secure it.
Brush the outside of the rolled steak with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season lightly with additional salt and pepper.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed steak on all sides, about 2 minutes per side, until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (medium-rare) or 145°F (medium), depending on your preference.
Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cut and remove the kitchen twine.
Slice the steak into 1-inch thick rounds and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Greek-inspired dish!
