Stuffed Flank Steak Recipe

Stuffing isn’t just for the birds! With this impressive-looking stuffed steak, you can get delicious steak juices all through your spinach and add some color to the meat on your plate, all while you add quite a substantial amount of vegetables to the meal!

The only part that looks a little intimidating is butterflying the steak in the first place, but here’s the trick: it sounds harder than it is.

Lay your steak on the cutting board and give it a stern glance, so it knows who’s in charge; then hold your knife parallel to the cutting board and cut through the steak almost (but not quite) to the other side so you can open it up like a manila folder or the covers of a book.

You should end up with a piece of steak that’s half as thick but has twice the surface area.

After that, the rest is easy. A little fat and garlic to give the spinach some flavor and bell pepper for crunch and color; roll it all up, tie it closed, and roast until it’s done! Because the meat is pretty thin, it doesn’t actually take long to cook.

In fact, if you throw in some delicata squash to go with it, they’ll both be done at the same time – yum!
