Ingredients
Flank Steak
- 1 lb flank steak trimmed and butterflied
Stuffing Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach fresh, chopped
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
For Cooking
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Lay the flank steak flat on a clean surface. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the entire steak.
- Roll up the steak tightly and secure with toothpicks. Place the stuffed steak in the prepared baking dish.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed flank steak on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the steak to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Notes
This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or a simple salad. Feel free to add extra herbs like basil or thyme to the stuffing mixture for additional flavor!
