Rolled Flank Steak with Spinach

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds flank steak
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) for seasoning

Instructions:

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Begin by placing the flank steak on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the steak horizontally, creating a pocket—be careful to not cut all the way through.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside and let it cool for a few minutes.
  4. Once cooled, mix the sautéed spinach with the crumbled feta cheese, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Ensure everything is well combined.
  5. Stuff the spinach mixture into the flank steak pocket, spreading it evenly. Roll the steak from one end to the other, securing it with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
  6. Transfer the rolled steak to a baking dish and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and any fresh herbs you prefer. Season the outside of the steak with additional salt and pepper.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
  8. Once cooked, allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time is essential as it allows the juices to redistribute for a tender outcome.
  9. Slice into rounds and serve warm—pair it with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad!
