SPINACH AND CARROT STUFFED FLANK STEAK



Spinach and Carrot Stuffed Flank Steak image

Categories     Beef     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     Bacon     Spinach     Carrot     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium carrots, cut crosswise into thirds
6 bacon slices, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 (2 1/2-lb) flank steak, trimmed
1/2 lb spinach, stems discarded
Special equipment: kitchen string

Steps:

  • Cook carrots in a saucepan of boiling salted water until barely tender, 6 to 8 minutes, then drain (carrots will continue to cook as they cool). When cool, cut each section lengthwise into 3 pieces.
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving fat. Stir together bacon, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, clove, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons fat in a bowl until combined well.
  • Put steak on 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap (each about 2 feet long) with a short side of steak nearest you. Holding a sharp knife parallel to work surface and beginning on a long side, butterfly steak by cutting it almost in half horizontally (not all the way through), then open it like a book.
  • Turn steak so a long side is nearest you, then arrange spinach evenly over steak, leaving a 1-inch border along edge farthest from you. Top spinach with carrot pieces, arranging them parallel to long side and spacing them evenly, then sprinkle evenly with bread crumb mixture.
  • Beginning with side nearest you and using plastic wrap as an aid, roll up steak, gently pressing on filling (do not roll too tightly or filling will slip out from ends), then tie steak crosswise with string at 3/4-inch intervals. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To cook steak using a charcoal grill:
  • Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a heaping chimneyful of charcoal and pour it evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of charcoal).
  • When charcoal turns grayish white (15 to 20 minutes from lighting) and you can hold your hand 5 inches above top rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear steak on all sides on lightly oiled rack over coals until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Move steak to side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into thickest part of steak registers 125°F, 15 to 20 minutes total.
  • To cook steak using a gas grill:
  • Preheat all burners on high, then adjust heat to moderately high. Sear steak on all sides on lightly oiled rack over flames until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Turn off burner directly below steak and cook, covered with lid, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into thickest part of steak registers 125°F, 25 to 30 minutes total.
  • Carve steak:
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand, covered loosely with foil, 20 minutes. Beef will continue to cook as it stands, reaching 130°F (medium-rare). Discard string, being careful not to unroll steak, and cut steak into 1/2-inch-thick slices with a sharp knife.
  • Available at hardware stores and some specialty foods shops.

Provided by NICK SUHADOLNIK

Categories     Steak

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 ounces bag frozen chopped spinach, thawed

4 ounces blue cheese
2 tablespoons minced roasted garlic
1 1/4-1 1/2 lbs flank steaks
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 -8 drops liquid smoke

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.

  • 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.

Tips and Conclusion

To ensure the best results when making Spinach and Carrot Stuffed Flank Steak, here are a few tips to follow:

  • Choose flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick. This will help to prevent the steak from becoming dry during cooking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the steak against the grain. This will make the steak more tender.
  • Don't overstuff the steak. Too much filling will make it difficult to roll and cook evenly.
  • Sear the steak in a hot skillet before baking it. This will help to seal in the juices and create a flavorful crust.
  • Bake the steak at a moderate temperature until it is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare steak, cook for about 15 minutes per pound.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the steak more tender.
  • Spinach and Carrot Stuffed Flank Steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.

    With its tender steak, flavorful filling, and crispy crust, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
