SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE-STUFFED FLANK STEAK
I'm always looking for great recipes and experiment alot. Every once in awhile, I discover one that just cries out to be shared. The following is just such a recipe. It really is very easy, but the flavor and presentation is quite "gourmet". My wife and I had it for dinner last night with nothing more than a side dish of herbed and garlic scalloped potatoes and a nice bottle of Pinot Noir. It was YUMMY!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place the thawed spinach in the center of a kitchen towel. Holding the towel over the sink, twist it to squeeze excess water out of the spinach.
- Open the towel and place the spinach in a food processor, along with the pine nuts, blue cheese, and garlic. Pulse until the ingredients form a thick paste.
- Place the flank steak flat on a work surface and using your fingers and/or a silicone spatula, spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the entire steak.
- Roll the steak into a cylinder and, using kitchen twine, tie the roll securely about every two inches.
- Mix one tablespoons olive oil with seasoning salt, pepper and liquid smoke. Brush mixture over the whole outer surface of the steak roll.
- In a large, deep skillet over medium-high, heat the remaining oil. Add the steak roll and sear one side for about 1 1/2 minutes. Use tongs to rotate the roll 1/4 turn, searing for another 1 1/2 minutes. Continue until all sides are seared.
- Transfer the roll to a rack, place on a baking sheet or pan and place in oven to roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roll reads 140 degrees F.
- Remove from oven, let stand for 5 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

GRILLED FLANK STEAK STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE
Steps:
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for indirect grilling. If charcoal, set the coals on one side of the charcoal grate, leaving the other side cool. If gas, turn one or two burners on high, leaving the other side cool. Lay the steak on a cutting board, and pound it out until it is about ¼-inch thick. Sprinkle with salt (keeping in mind that the blue cheese is a little salty) and pepper. With one long side toward you, cover the steak with spinach to within an inch of the other edge. Top with crumbled blue cheese. Working from the long side that is toward you, roll the steak, tucking the spinach and blue cheese in as you go. Set seam side down on the cutting board, and tie, at about 2-inch intervals, with kitchen twine. Make sure the roll is tied close to both ends to keep the stuffing in. Season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grate using tongs and a paper towel soaked in oil. Sear the stuffed steak directly over the coals, about 3 minutes per side, treating it as if it had 4 sides. Once it's seared, move the steak to the cool side of the grill and lower the lid. Let it cook for 25 to 35 minutes, or until it's reached an internal temperature of 130 degrees for medium rare. Remove the steak to a warm platter, and tent with foil for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice the steak into ½-inch pinwheels, 2 to 3 per person.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality flank steak: Look for steak that is a deep red color with good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Pound the flank steak: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it more receptive to the marinade.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the steak with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, as this will help to break down the connective tissue in the meat.
- Don't overcook the steak: Flank steak is a lean cut of meat, so it is important to cook it quickly over high heat. Overcooking will make the steak tough and dry.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and juicy.
Conclusion:
Spinach and blue cheese stuffed flank steak is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of spinach, blue cheese, and garlic is a classic, and the flank steak is a flavorful and tender cut of meat. With a little bit of preparation, you can easily make this restaurant-quality dish at home.
