My local grocery store sells this pre-made at the butcher case. I thought I'd see if I could come up with a tastier version!

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb flank steak, (2 1-pound steaks)
10 oz package frozen, chopped spinach
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 c soft breadcrumbs
1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp rubbed sage
1/4 tsp salt
1 dash(es) black pepper
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
8 oz can tomato sauce
1/2 c burgundy wine
1/2 c onion, chopped

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

Spread half of the spinach mixture over each flank steak to within 1 inch of the sides. Roll up the steaks , starting with the short sides. Tie with heavy kitchen string at 2-inch intervals.

  • 5. Add enough water to the tomato mixture to measure 1 3/4 cups. Place tomato sauce mixture in a small saucepan. Combine 1/4 cup water and flour, stirring until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the tomato sauce mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly.

I had high hopes for this recipe, but I was disappointed. The steak was tough and the spinach and cheese filling was flavorless. I won't be making this again.

This dish was just okay. The steak was a bit dry and the spinach and cheese filling was bland. I wouldn't make it again.

This dish was a hit with my family! The steak was tender and flavorful, and the spinach and cheese filling was creamy and delicious. The lemon butter sauce added a nice touch of acidity. I will definitely be making this again.
