2-2 1/2 lbs flank steak
1 small shallot, minced
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely minced
4 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto
1 teaspoon basil, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 oz. thinly sliced provolone cheese
1 teaspoon sage leaves, finely minced
Salt and pepper to taste
toothpicks soaked in water for 10 minutes
How to make Italian Stuffed Flank Steak
Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk the garlic, shallot, parsley, basil, sage, and olive oil.
Step 2: Slice the steak across horizontally, then butterfly the steak. Into 2 thin rectangles, pour the flank steak. Lay the steak, grain parallel to the edges of the counter. Evenly over the steak, spread the herb mixture.
Step 3: Over the steak, evenly lay the prosciutto, keeping a 1-inch border along the top edge. With a layer of cheese, evenly cover the prosciutto. Make sure to leave a 1-inch border on the edge.
Step 4: Tightly roll the steak beginning from the bottom edge and rolling up away from you and towards the top. Then, on a cutting board, place the log, seam-side down.
Step 5: Tie a piece of kitchen twine beginning in the middle of the steak roll to secure the steak. Place more ties of kitchen twine, working outward the center in 1-inch intervals until the entire steak roll is tied up.
Step 6: Between the pieces of twine, slice the roll using a sharp knife into 1-inch thick pinwheels. Then, lightly season with salt and black pepper. Next, skewer each pinwheel using a toothpick.
Step 7: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees.
Step 8: In a hot cast-iron skillet, place the pinwheels and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes or so until brown. Flip the pinwheels and continue to cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
Step 9: Transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the steak is done. Take the skillet out of the oven and cover with aluminium foil and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Then, remove the twine and toothpicks.
Step 10: Serve and enjoy!
