Cheese Stuffed Flank Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Flatten steak to 1/4-in. thickness. In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice, Worcestershire sauce, onion, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Pour half of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag; add meat. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 4-8 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining pineapple juice mixture., Drain and discard marinade from meat. For stuffing, in a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, pecans, onion, parsley and garlic. Sprinkle stuffing over meat. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Tie with kitchen string., In a small skillet, brown meat in oil until browned on all sides. Pour reserved marinade into skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Thicken pan juices if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F; heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the oil and shallots and cook until soften, add the garlic and thyme. Continue cooking until the shallots are lightly browned.
• Transfer to a medium-size bowl and let cool slightly.
• Mix in the croutons, cheese and bread crumbs.
• Pound the steak to a even thickness. A larger surface area is perfect so as to hold the stuffing.
• Put the steak on a work surface and mound the blue cheese stuffing lengthwise down the center.
• Roll the steak and tie off with string securely in several places. Salt and pepper the meat.
• Heat an over-proof skillet with a thin layer of oil and sear the steak on all sides.
• Put the skillet in the oven for ten minutes. Turn steak over and leave in for another ten minutes.
• Take steak out and cover with loose foil for 5-10 minutes and then begin carving. Enjoy.

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.

Steps:

• Start the coals or heat a gas grill for medium-high direct cooking. Make sure the grates are clean. Cut at least ten 8-inch pieces of kitchen twine.
• With a very sharp knife, slice the steak lengthwise into two pieces. With a meat mallet, rolling pin, or the bottom of a cast-iron skillet, pound the two thin steaks evenly to no more than 1/2-inch thick. Pat them dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Combine the cheese, oregano, and garlic in a small bowl. Divide the mixture between the steaks and spread it out almost to the edges. Roll the steaks up so that the grain of the meat runs the length of the roll, so you'll be slicing them across the grain. Tie the steaks closed with the twine every 2 inches or so. (You can prepare the recipe to this point up to several hours in advance and refrigerate.)
• Put the stuffed steaks on the grill directly over the fire. Close the lid and cook, turning the rolls every 2 to 3 minutes for even browning, until 5 to 10°F shy of the desired doneness; start checking them with an instant-read thermometer after 10 minutes. Depending on the thickness of the rolls, they should take 15 to 20 minutes total for medium-rare.
• Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes, checking the internal temperature. (Or nick with a small knife and peek inside.) Cut the rolls into 1-inch slices, transfer them spiral side up to a platter, pour over any accumulated juices, and serve.
• Variations
• Stuffed Flank Steak with Mozzarella and Basil: Substitute shredded mozzarella for the queso asadero and omit the oregano. Top the cheese with a layer of fresh basil leaves before rolling; you'll need 1 cup or more.
• Stuffed Flank Steak with Prosciutto and Rosemary: Substitute Parmesan cheese for the queso asadero and 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary for the oregano. In Step 3, layer 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto over the cheese before rolling.
• Stuffed Flank Steak with Peppery Greens and Goat Cheese: Replace the cheese, oregano, and garlic with 8 ounces goat cheese, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, the grated zest of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or more to taste), and lots of black pepper, mashed together in a small bowl. Spread the mixture over one side of each of the steaks. Layer 2 cups roughly chopped watercress or arugula over the top before rolling.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Cut the flank steak against the grain into ⅛-inch (3-mm) thick slices.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil, until shimmering. Add the steak, paprika, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the Worcestershire sauce.
• Mix to coat the meat with the spices and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the meat a bowl, leaving the juices in the pan. Cover and set aside until ready to use.
• Add the butter to the pan with the meat juices. Add the onions and cook until tender and shiny, about 10 minutes. Add the green bell peppers and the remaining ½ teaspoon of pepper and teaspoon of salt, and cook until the onions and peppers are caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Cut the top off of a red bell pepper. Cut around the seed pod, then pull it out of the pepper. Remove any remaining seeds. Repeat with the rest of the peppers.
• Cut 9 of the provolone slices in half.
• Place the peppers in a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) baking dish, cut side up. Scoop a bit of steak filling into each pepper, followed by the peppers and onions, then 3 half slices of provolone. Repeat with the rest of the steak, then the rest of the peppers and onions. Place a whole slice of provolone on top of each pepper.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until the skin of the peppers is shriveling, and the cheese is golden.
• Top with parsley.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Sandwich the flank steaks between waxed paper and pound with a kitchen mallet to tenderize.
• Whisk olive oil, Italian seasoning, pepper, and garlic for marinade together in a small bowl. Pour into the bottom of a baking dish that's large enough to hold both steaks in a single layer. Add steaks so that one side is touching the marinade; do not flip to coat. Let sit while you prepare the filling.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly browned and not yet crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Mix cream cheese, Italian cheese, spinach, and garlic together in a bowl. Spread cheese mixture on the unmarinated side of the steaks. Place 5 bacon strips on top the cheese on each steak. Roll steaks up and pin with toothpicks to secure.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

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.
