This is a delicious flank steak. The stuffing makes it much more filling, but there's never any left over! Can also be cooked in the microwave. Just cover and cook at medium setting (50 per cent) in a microwave-safe dish for 30 minutes, rotating dish halfway through cooking. Serve with sauce from the pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds and has a uniform thickness. This will ensure that the steak cooks evenly.
  • Tenderize the flank steak: Before cooking, tenderize the flank steak by pounding it with a meat mallet or rolling it out with a rolling pin. This will help to break down the tough fibers and make the steak more tender.
  • Stuff the flank steak: To stuff the flank steak, first make a pocket by slicing it lengthwise down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through. Then, fill the pocket with your desired stuffing, such as sausage, basil, and cheese.
  • Sear the flank steak: Sear the flank steak over high heat to create a flavorful crust. This will also help to keep the juices in the steak.
  • Cook the flank steak: After searing, cook the flank steak over medium heat until it reaches your desired doneness. A meat thermometer can be used to check the internal temperature of the steak.
  • Let the flank steak rest: Before slicing and serving, let the flank steak rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Flank steak stuffed with sausage, basil, and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your flank steak is tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
