Seared flank steak stuffed with sweet chunks of fresh lobster and topped with a buttery Parmesan cream sauce is undoubtedly a combination made in heaven. Make this when you really want to treat yourself to an indulgent dinner at home!

Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons kosher salt, divided
3 lb lobster
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 lb flank steak
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
toothpick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C)
  • Add 1 tablespoon of salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the lobsters, heads first, leaving the rubber bands on the claws. Once the water returns to a boil, boil the lobsters for 10 minutes.
  • Use tongs to remove the lobsters and transfer to a cutting board. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Use scissors to snip off the rubber bands of the claws. With one hand, hold the body of the lobster, and with the other hold the tail. Use your hands to twist the tail off and remove it from the body. Twist the claws off where the leg and body meet.
  • Use a pair of kitchen shears to make an incision at the top of the tail, then snip through to the base. Snap the shell back and remove the tail meat.
  • Twist the legs at the joints to separate from the claws. Use kitchen shears to cut through the shells and remove the leg and claw meat.
  • Roughly chop the lobster meat and add to a medium bowl, along with the cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Use a rubber spatula to mix well.
  • Lay a piece of plastic wrap over a cutting board. Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels, then place on the plastic wrap and cover with another sheet. Use a meat mallet to pound out to ¼-inch thick.
  • Remove the plastic wrap, then season the steak on both sides with the remaining 2 teaspoons of salt and teaspoon of pepper.
  • Spread the lobster mixture in an even layer over the steak. Starting from the short end, gently roll the steak into a log shape. Secure the roll with toothpicks.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the steak roll and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until browned. Using 2 sets of tongs, gently turn the roll over and sear on the other side for 3-4 minutes, until browned.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 27-30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 145°F (63°C).
  • Remove the steak roll from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Make the cream sauce: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the white wine and cook for 3 minutes, until reduced by half.
  • Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and cook for 7 minutes, whisking frequently, until slightly thickened and reduced by half.
  • Add the parsley and whisk to combine.
  • Remove the toothpicks from the steak roll, then slice into 1-inch thick pieces. Transfer to a platter and pour the cream sauce on top, then garnish with more parsley.
  • Enjoy!

BRACIOLE



Braciole image

For an Italian favorite, make Giada De Laurentiis' elegant Braciole, rolled-up flank steak basted with tomato sauce, from Everyday Italian on Food Network.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs
1 garlic clove, minced
2/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1/3 cup grated provolone
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
1 cup dry white wine
3 1/4 cups Simple Tomato Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought marinara sauce
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
4 to 6 basil leaves
2 dried bay leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

Steps:

  • Stir the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season mixture with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Lay the flank steak flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak to cover the top evenly. Starting at 1 short end, roll up the steak as for a jelly roll to enclose the filling completely. Using butcher's twine, tie the steak roll to secure. Sprinkle the braciole with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the braciole and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the marinara sauce. Cover partially with foil and bake until the meat is almost tender, turning the braciole and basting with the sauce every 30 minutes. After 1 hour, uncover and continue baking until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes longer. The total cooking time should be about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove the braciole from the sauce. Using a large sharp knife, cut the braciole crosswise and diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer the slices to plates. Spoon the sauce over and serve.
  • In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
  • Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
  • If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.

ROLLED FLANK STEAK



Rolled Flank Steak image

I searched and searched for just the right rolled flank steak recipe and couldn't find it. So, I created my own! This was a big hit when I made it for company.

Provided by ANGELSHARK

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 5h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (2 pound) beef flank steak
¼ cup soy sauce
½ cup olive oil
2 teaspoons steak seasoning
8 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese
4 slices thick cut bacon
½ cup fresh spinach leaves
½ cup sliced crimini mushrooms
½ red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

Steps:

  • Place the flank steak on a cutting board with the short end closest to you. Starting from one of the long sides, cut through the meat horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the opposite edge. (You can also ask your butcher to butterfly the flank steak for you instead of cutting it yourself.)
  • Mix the soy sauce, olive oil, and steak seasoning together in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Marinate flank steak in the refrigerator 4 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a glass baking dish.
  • Lay out the flank steak flat in front of you with the grain of the meat running from left to right. Layer the provolone across the steak, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the bacon, spinach, red pepper, and mushrooms across the cheese covered steak in stripes running in the same direction as the grain of the meat. Roll the flank steak up and away from you, so that when the roll is cut into the pinwheel shape, each of the filling ingredients can be seen. Roll firmly, but be careful not to squeeze the fillings out the ends. Once rolled, tie every 2 inches with kitchen twine.
  • Place in prepared baking dish, and bake in preheated oven for one hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into 1 inch slices. Be sure to remove the twine before serving!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Flank steak is a lean cut of beef that is best cooked quickly over high heat. It is important to choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick so that it can be rolled up without tearing.
  • Slice the meat thinly: The thinner the slices of meat, the easier they will be to roll up. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Pound the meat: Pounding the meat helps to tenderize it and makes it more pliable. Use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound the meat until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to fillings for flank steak roll ups. Some popular options include cheese, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Roll the meat tightly: Once you have added your fillings, roll the meat up tightly. Use toothpicks or skewers to secure the roll ups.
  • Cook the roll ups over high heat: Flank steak roll ups should be cooked over high heat so that they can sear quickly. This will help to keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
  • Let the roll ups rest before slicing: Once the roll ups are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Flank steak roll ups are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of this classic dish. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give flank steak roll ups a try. You won't be disappointed!
