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.
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!!

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°. Butterfly the steak by using a long sharp knife holding it parallel to the work surface, cut through the long side of the steak, stopping about ½ inch from the opposite side. If the steak is already thin, just pound it with a mallet to ¼ inch thick. In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté` the shallots until soft, 2 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out all the moisture from the spinach and transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the bread crumbs and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Place the steak on a sheet of plastic wrap. Smear the spinach mixture evenly over the steak, leaving about 1 inch border along the side edge. Beginning with the side near you and using the plastic wrap as an aid, rollup the steak, gently pressing on the filling. Tie the rolled steak with twine at 2-3 inch interval. Season the outside with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Sear the roast on all sided, about 2 minutes per side. Place in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, tend with aluminum foil and allow resting for 10 minutes. To serve, remove the twine from the roast and cut into ½ inch to 1 inch thick slices.
Tips:
- To ensure the flank steak is tender, use a meat mallet to pound it until it is about 1/4-inch thick. This will help break down the tough fibers and make it more tender when cooked.
- For a more flavorful filling, use a variety of vegetables, such as chopped mushrooms, carrots, and celery. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.
- If you are using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using it in the filling.
- To prevent the steak from drying out, cook it over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side, then reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the steak is cooked through.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain. This will help keep the juices in the steak and make it more tender.
Conclusion:
Spinach stuffed flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
