Steps:
- Preheat a charcoal griller (such as Big Green Egg®) to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
- Lay flank steak on a flat work surface. Cut steak from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
- Arrange butcher's twine on a plate, enough to cover the length of the steak. Place each string about 1 inch apart. Place steak on top; season with salt and pepper. Lay down a thick bed of spinach on top. Scatter feta cheese, olives, and bacon over the spinach.
- Roll steak up starting from the edge closest to you, pressing filling down to tighten the roll. Tie with butcher's twine.
- Cook over direct heat, turning at least once, until steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Tips:
- Choose the right steak: 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 cooks evenly.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the steak and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Flank steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Greek flank steak and veggie salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The veggie salad is made with fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, and dressed with a simple vinaigrette. This dish is sure to please everyone at your next gathering.
