STUFFED STEAK WITH PROSCIUTTO AND SPINACH



Stuffed Steak with Prosciutto and Spinach image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (10-ounce) package chopped frozen spinach
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, 1/4 chopped, 1/4 cut into thin strips, for garnish
2 ounces prosciutto (about 3 to 4 slices), cut into ribbons
Coarse salt
Black pepper
1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs - eyeball it
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano - eyeball it
2 pound eye round roast, strings cut off
Re-sealable plastic bag

Steps:

  • Defrost spinach in microwave. Wrap in clean kitchen towel and wring chopped spinach dry.
  • Place a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil-to hot skillet. Add garlic to oil. Add onion and red pepper, cook 1 minute. Lower heat to medium. Add the prosciutto and the spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Add bread crumbs and cheese to spinach. Turn off heat. Let stuffing cool.
  • To create the cavity for the stuffing, use a long sharp knife (like a boning knife), and cut a 1 to 2-inch hole through the center of the roast making a lengthwise slit. Turn the meat around and cut another slit in the same spot so that your knife completes the cavity. Insert a wooden spoon into the cavity to make sure the hole is even and goes all the way through.
  • Put the cooled filling in a re-sealable plastic bag and snip a hole in the corner of the bag. Pipe the filling into the cavity. You may need to push it along with your fingers to make sure that it goes all the way through.
  • Preheat nonstick skillet over high heat. Cut the roast into 6 even slices, being careful to keep the stuffing in each slice. Add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to the pan. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and sear in hot, nonstick skillet, 2 minutes on first side. Flip the steaks and sear for an additional 2 minutes then lower the heat to medium-high and cook until done (about 3 to 4 more minutes). Garnish with thinly sliced red pepper.

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.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE



GRILLED FLANK STEAK STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE image

Categories     Beef

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1¾- to 2-pound flank steak
4 ounces crumbly blue cheese
2 ounces baby spinach
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

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.

SPINACH AND GORGONZOLA STUFFED FLANK STEAK



SPINACH AND GORGONZOLA STUFFED FLANK STEAK image

Categories     Beef     Cheese     Vegetable     Bake     Roast     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Stuffing/Dressing     Fall     Winter

Yield 2 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1 ½ to 2 pounds flank steak trimmed
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot finely chopped
½ pound spinach, washed, stemmed and chopped
¾ cup fresh bread crumbs
¼ pound Gorgonzola or other blue cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper

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:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. A flank steak or skirt steak is a good choice for this recipe, as they are both relatively thin and tender cuts of meat.
  • Marinate the steak overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor than frozen spinach.
  • Don't overcook the steak. Steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, otherwise it will become tough.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Spinach stuffed 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 spinach stuffing, and crispy breadcrumb topping, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
