Herb Stuffed Grilled Flank Steak Recipes

HERB-STUFFED GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In large, shallow nonmetal dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all marinade ingredients. Make pocket in side of flank steak by cutting lengthwise almost but not completely through opposite side. Add steak to marinade; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to marinate.
• In 8-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in garlic and parsley; cook and stir 1 minute. Add bread crumbs and lemon peel; cook and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Heat grill. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Fill pocket in steak with stuffing. Secure opening with toothpicks.
• Place steak on gas grill over medium heat; cover grill. Cook 12 to 20 minutes, turning once, until steak is desired doneness. Cut steak across grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

ANTIPASTI-STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• For the flank steak: Set the flank steak on a cutting board. Starting at the thin, narrow end of the steak, slice it in half horizontally to within 2 inches of the opposite wide end. Open it up like a book so you have one long piece. Pound the steak with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
• Whisk together the oil, vinegar, honey, red pepper, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Combine the marinade with the meat in a large resealable plastic bag and flip over several times to make sure the meat is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, flipping several times.
• For the herb paste and sauce: Combine the basil, parsley, red pepper, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly pour in 1/4 cup of the oil. Remove 2 tablespoons of the herb paste from the processor and mix with the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl; reserve this sauce for finishing.
• Prepare an outdoor grill for direct and indirect grilling. (If your grill has a thermometer, aim to keep the temperature at about 350 degrees F throughout grilling.)
• Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Spread it flat on a work surface. Cover the steak with the remaining herb paste, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges. Layer with the ham, mozzarella and salami, then sprinkle with the mushrooms and roasted peppers. Arrange the hot peppers in a line along the edge of one of the short ends (when you roll up the steak they will be in the middle). Roll up the steak like a jelly roll, starting at the short end with the hot peppers. Tie the roll closed around the circumference with butcher's twine at 2-inch intervals. Tie one more piece of twine lengthwise around the meat.
• Put the steak on the direct heat side of the grill and cook, turning, to brown all 4 sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the steak to the indirect heat side of the grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally, until the very center reads 115 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer for a steak that is well done on the outside and medium rare in the center, 25 to 30 minutes more. (Test frequently; the time will vary based on the temperature of your grill.) Let the steak rest 5 to 6 minutes.
• Untie the steak and cut it into 6 thick slices. Serve with the reserved herb sauce for drizzling.

GRILLED STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine garlic, shallot, parsley, sage, and olive oil. Set aside. Lay out two long pieces of plastic wrap side by side and place flank steak on plastic wrap. Butterfly cut steak. (Lay flank stake out flat and slice in half horizontal, from side to side, stopping before you get to the edge. Open it up and your steak will suddenly be twice as the size). Ask your butcher or store butcher to do this to save you time! Place two more pieces of plastic wrap on top of steak. Pound flank steak into rough rectangle with a meat hammer or gently with a clean nail hammer so as to not pound a hole in it . Remove top plastic wrap. Spread garlic and herb oil over steak. Top with prosciutto. Place provolone on top of prosciutto, leaving a boarder around steak without cheese. Like cinnamon rolls, working with the wide end, roll up steak into a pinwheel. Cut 12 (8 inch) pieces of string. Tie up each end of steak roll. Then use the remaining string to tie up the steak into 1 inch pieces, working from outside edges to inside. Once steak is tied up, then roll log so that the seam is facing you. Place a skewer between each of the strings and on each end, making sure to skewer the edges to secure them. Slice the steak between the skewers and snip off the strings. Salt and pepper each side of the pinwheels. Cook on a preheated and oiled grill for approximately 4 - 5 minutes per side, depending on how done you want your steaks. You can also cook these on foil or a grilling mat. Once cooked, remove from grill, and let sit for 3 - 5 minutes. You can cover them with foil if you wish. Remove the skewers and devour!
