MATAMBRE WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE
This rolled flank steak, stuffed with piquant fillings and topped with garlicky chimichurri, is inspired by Argentinian matambre, which is usually fashioned from a cut of mature veal. It's no wonder that its name translates to "hunger killer." How could a great steak be more hearty than this one filled up with goodies?

Steps:
- For the flank steak: Prepare an outdoor grill for cooking over direct and indirect heat (if your grill has a thermometer, aim to keep the temperature at about 350 degrees F throughout grilling).
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring and finely crumbling with a wooden spoon until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and let cool.
- Set the flank steak on a cutting board. Use a knife to score the steak down the middle against the grain, halfway through its thickness. Working from the center line, out toward the edges, cut thin flaps from the score to the edge, like a gatefold. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Chop the cilantro, parsley, olives, pickled jalapenos and garlic together on a cutting board to make a chunky paste. Brush the steak with the mustard. Spread the herb paste over the steak, leaving empty a 1-inch border around the edges. Pat to adhere the paste to the meat. Starting a third of the way in from the right, make 4 equidistant lines of egg. Between the egg lines, mound lines of chorizo, then carrots and then peppers, covering all but that first third of the steak's surface. Roll the steak around the fillings like a jelly roll, from the filled to the empty side. Tie closed at 2-inch intervals around the circumference with kitchen twine. Tie 1 more piece of twine lengthwise around the meat.
- Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the steak on the direct-heat side of the grill 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 and testing the temperature frequently, 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. Transfer the matambre to a cutting board to rest.
- For the chimichurri sauce: Finely chop the cilantro, parsley and garlic on a cutting board. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the red pepper flakes, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the olive oil.
- Untie and slice the flank steak into 6-thick slices on a slight bias. Serve with the chimichurri sauce for drizzling.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK (MATAMBRE)
Matambre is a contraction of the Spanish words for "kill" and "hunger" -- it's the hunger killer. It's beef traditionally stuffed with vegetables, herbs, hard-cooked egg and seasonings. I cannot abide hard-boiled egg in cooked meat dishes, so I've substituted olives. It is often served as a kind of cold cut in Argentina, where it was created, but it can also be served hot.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Use a boning knife to butterfly flank steak: Working across the grain, make a cut down the center, but only halfway through meat. At the top of that cut, make perpendicular cuts, one in each direction, this time with the grain. Again, cut only halfway into steak. Repeat perpendicular cuts at the other end of the center cut. Cuts should resemble the letter H.
- At the top of the original center cut, hold the knife parallel to the meat and insert knife. Slice toward you, making a pocket. This cut should almost reach the outer edge, halfway through the meat's thickness. Repeat on other side. Open the flaps.
- Season meat liberally on both sides with salt and pepper, then place it cut side up, wide side facing you. Season with marjoram, cumin and garlic and cover it with a fairly even layer of parsley-cilantro mix. Then arrange carrots, olives and onions horizontally over the full width of the meat. Scatter a relatively even layer of watercress over all.
- Roll meat up from the bottom like a jellyroll; grain of steak should run length of roll. Tie in three or four places with butcher's twine.
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or roasting pan large enough to accommodate rolled steak. Deeply brown it on all sides, about 15 minutes total, then transfer pan to oven and roast for about 30 minutes, until meat is cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 30 minutes before serving. Or, put meat in a clean baking dish, weight it with a plate with something heavy on it and chill overnight. Take matambre from refrigerator and slice it into 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces about an hour before serving at room temperature.

Steps:
- Butterfly the steak by slicing lengthwise and opening it up like a book. Pound the meat gently with a mallet to flatten and even out the thickness; rub all sides with olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper.
- With the steak lying lengthwise, scatter the spinach leaves evenly over the surface of the meat, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Arrange the carrots in long rows across the steak, about 2 inches apart. Put the egg strips and olives between the carrot rows. Scatter the onion rings and cheese over the filling, sprinkle with salt and red pepper flakes. Carefully roll the meat up over the filling, from bottom to top, into a long thick cylinder (jellyroll-style.) Tie with butcher's twine to hold it together, as you would a roast.
- Coat a large Dutch oven or pan with olive oil and put over moderate heat. Lay the stuffed steak in the hot oil and sear until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in the wine and enough water to come up almost to the top of the meat. Toss in the head of garlic, onion, and herbs to flavor the broth. Cover, and slowly simmer on medium-low heat until the meat is fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours, turning the meat over once halfway through cooking. Taste the broth before serving and adjust spices, if necessary.
- Transfer the matambre to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes. Remove the kitchen strings and cut crosswise into 1-inch slices ¿ the colors of the filling will look absolutely gorgeous spiraled in the steak. Spoon some of the sauce over the meat and serve. Matambre is good hot, room temperature, or cold.

MATAMBRE - STUFFED FLANK STEAK
The word "matambre" is the name for a cut of beef, as well as the word for "shoe leather". Matambre appears to be a contraction of the words "matar" (kill) and "hambre" (hunger), and it's also the name of a wonderful dish from Argentina and Uruguay: flank steak rolled and filled with vegetables and either cooked over coals or braised in red wine. It's a dish that will definitely "kill" your hunger! (Some people even add bacon or sausage to the vegetable stuffing). Matambre has a beautiful presentation. It's often served as a first course in Argentina, but makes a nice luncheon dish or main course as well. Serve matambre with chimichurri sauce

Steps:
- Lay flank steak flat on a cutting board and carefully slice it in half horizontally almost all the way, cutting in the same direction as the fibers. Open the steak up like a book, and lay flat.
- Squeeze lime juice over the steak and sprinkle with black pepper, kosher salt, oregano, and minced garlic. Use a meat tenderizing hammer to pound meat until it's flattened and evenly thick, and in the approximate shape of a rectangle. The grain of the meat should run parallel to the long side of the rectangle.
- Lay the spinach leaves over the meat, leaving 1-2 inches of one long side uncovered. Sprinkle the cheese over the spinach.
- Peel the carrots and slice them into quarters lengthwise. Lay the carrots over the spinach, in the direction of the meat fibers. Cut the peppers into strips and spread them over the spinach. Cut the eggs into wedges and distribute pieces over the spinach. Add the olives, if using.
- Carefully roll up the flank steak with the vegetables inside, rolling from one long side to the other, and tie the roll up securely with kitchen twine. Season the outside with salt and pepper.
- To cook on the grill: Wrap the stiffed flank steak tightly with foil, and place it directly on the coals (once they have burned down somewhat). Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is cooked to desired doneness. Unwrap and let cool, then slice crosswise into thin slices to serve.
- To oook on the stove: Brown the flank steak roll in a large stockpot over medium high heat in a little bit of olive oil, until well browned on all sides.
- Add 2 cups red wine and enough water (or beef broth) to cover the meat. Simmer gently until meat is tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and cool, then slice crosswise into thin slices to serve.
- Matambre slices easiest after it has cooled some, and can be served at room temperature with a salad as an appetizer or started course. Serve with chimichurri sauce, or with a sauce made from the wine cooking liquid, if desired.
