Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef flank steak
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 medium Roasted red pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Bread crumbs
- 1 cup Beef broth
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the beef flank steak to 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked spinach, diced roasted red pepper, egg, bread crumbs, and half of the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning; mix well.
Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the flattened beef steak.
Roll up the steak tightly starting from the shorter side and secure with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals.
Rub the outside of the beef roll with the remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef roll on all sides until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and pour the beef broth into the pan.
Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 145°F (63°C).
Allow the beef roll to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with pan juices drizzled over the slices.
