Vegetable Stuffed Flank Steak Recipes

VEGETABLE-STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Cut steak horizontally from a long side to within 1/2 in. of opposite side. Open steak so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness. Remove plastic; sprinkle steak with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Set aside. In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings., In the drippings, saute leeks, yellow peppers and 1 cup celery until tender. Stir in spinach, thyme, basil and bacon. Spoon over meat to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up tightly jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie with kitchen string., Rub steak with garlic and remaining salt. In a large skillet, brown meat in oil on all sides. Place in a greased shallow roasting pan. Add onion and remaining celery. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over steak. Cover loosely with foil., Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Baste with drippings. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes longer or until meat is tender. Let stand for 10-15 minutes. Remove string and slice.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Place flank steak in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add mushrooms, celery, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic; saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in a large bowl.
• Pat roasted red peppers dry. Chop and add to the vegetable mixture. Add bread crumbs, parsley, 2 tablespoons olive oil, capers, salt, pepper flakes, and black pepper. Mix to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove steak from the freezer and season with salt and pepper. Turn the long side of the steak towards you and place on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle to within 1/2 inch of the opposite edge, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, layer prosciutto and provolone cheese over the entire steak. Top with bread crumb mixture, patting down to adhere. Roll steak up tightly starting at the small end. Use kitchen twine to tie steak in 1-inch increments taking care to tie tightly at both ends. Season with more salt and pepper and brush with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place steak carefully on a broiler pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium-rare, 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for medium, or 170 degrees F (77 degrees C) for well done, 35 to 40 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

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.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix, water and butter or margarine. Mix well and let stand for 5 minutes. Spoon the stuffing onto the steak, leaving a 1 inch border. Add the green onions and the red bell pepper.
• Roll from the long edge of the steak and secure with wooden toothpicks. Place steak seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a separate small bowl, combine the gravy, wine OR apple juice, garlic and cheese. Mix well and pour over the steak.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, remove from oven and let stand before slicing.

MEDITERRANEAN INSPIRED STUFFED AND ROLLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Combine all the stuffing ingredients in a food processor and process until they form a smooth paste, about 45 to 60 seconds.
• Prepare the flank steak by placing between plastic and pounding to a thickness of 1/3 inch; score on one side in a criss-cross pattern.
• Turn steak over and season well with salt and pepper.
• Smooth all but 1 tablespoon of the stuffing over the entire steak; reserved stuffing will be used later in a sauce.
• Roll steak up and tie with kitchen twine in about 3 places.
• Place the steak, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least two hours up to overnight (you want the outside to dry a bit and the inside to marinate).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and bring the steak to room temperature.
• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat; season steak on all sides generously with salt and pepper and sear well, in a little oil, on all sides.
• Meanwhile combine reserved stuffing, water, mustard, garlic, rosemary, and oils in a roasting pan or baking dish; place a rack for the meat on top.
• Place meat on rack, brush with pan juices, and roast to an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, about 15 minutes.

VEGGIE STUFFED STEAK ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Heat the oil in an oven-proof skillet. Toss in the bell peppers, onions, salt, pepper, and garlic, and sauté until the veggies have softened, about 10 minutes.
• Season the flank steak on both sides with a good pinch of salt and black pepper.
• Sprinkle on the spinach in an even layer and top with the sautéed peppers.
• Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the veggies and tightly wrap the steak into a roll.
• Skewer the steak with toothpicks about 1½ inches (4 cm) apart so that the steak will hold its shape.
• Slice between the toothpicks to create individual steak rolls.
• Heat a few more tablespoons of oil in the skillet. When the oil has begun to smoke slightly, sear the steak rolls until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• NOTE: To bake the entire steak roll at one time, simply sear each steak roll in a large skillet and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once each roll has been seared and transferred to the baking sheet, proceed with steps 10-12.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until it has reached desired level of doneness.
• Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks.
• Enjoy!

STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Trim any fat from the steak; on one side of the steak, score it in a diamond pattern 1/8 inch deep.
• Drain mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Combine the mushrooms, onion, parsley, and bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until the onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
• Spread the vegetable mixture evenly over unscored side of the steak to within 1 inch of the outside edges. Roll up jellyroll fashion, starting with the short side. Tie with heavy string at 2 inch intervals.
• Brown the steak roll in vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven. Reduce the heat to low; stir in the reserved mushroom liquid, tomato sauce, and remaining ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender.

SPINACH AND CARROT STUFFED FLANK STEAK

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.
• Available at hardware stores and some specialty foods shops.

ROLLED STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
• Add greens; cook until wilted, 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and red-pepper flakes. Remove pot from heat.
• Place steak between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 inch thick with a meat mallet or small skillet.
• Spread greens on steak, leaving a 2-inch border on one long side; season with salt and pepper. Roll up toward border.
• Tie crosswise with 5 or 6 pieces of kitchen twine. Rub steak with 1 teaspoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place steak, seam side up, on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Broil 5 minutes. Flip and broil until browned, 5 minutes for medium. Loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes. Slice steak into 1/2-inch rounds.

STUFFED MEXICAN FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the crumbled corn bread in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• Place the flank steak on a flat surface. Hold a long, sharp carving knife parallel to the surface and cut the steak lengthwise in half to make two long rectangles of equal thickness. This may be done by the butcher. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper.
• Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a skillet and add half of the onions, half of the celery, half of the green peppers and half of the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is wilted. Let cool briefly. Add this to the corn bread. Add salt, pepper and the eggs.
• Remove and discard the stems of the jalapeno peppers. Chop the peppers and add them to the bowl. Add the parsley and blend well with the fingers.
• Spoon equal portions of the cornbread mixture onto each half of the meat. Carefully roll the meat jellyroll-style, starting at the narrower end of each portion of the meat. It will be almost impossible to enclose the filling without a portion of it falling out. This is a minor problem. Continue to roll and enclose each filling as neatly as possible. Tie the meat with string in several places to secure it.
• Heat the remaining three tablespoons of oil in a skillet and add the stuffed meat rolls. Brown the meat as neatly as possible on all sides, turning it carefully. Once more, a portion of the filling will fall into the skillet, which is to be expected.
• When the meat is browned, scatter the remaining onions, celery, green peppers and garlic around the rolls. Sprinkle the vegetables with the chili powder, cumin and oregano. Stir to blend and add the crushed tomatoes, broth, salt and pepper. Stir.
• Bring to the boil, cover and place in the oven. Bake about one hour. Transfer the meat to a serving dish and remove the strings. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and skim off the excess fat. Bring to the boil.
• Cut the meat into rounds and serve hot with the sauce. Serve with Mexican table sauce on the side, if desired.
