Stuffed Flank Steak With Mushrooms Spinach And Blue Cheese Food

STUFFED FLANK STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS, SPINACH AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Line a cutting board with Saran Wrap. Lay flank steak over Saran Wrap, and cover top of flank steak with Saran Wrap. Pound flat and tenderize, so the steak expands in area, about an inch. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a shallow pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil on medium heat, and add mushrooms with garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook and stir continuously for 5 minutes. Add spinach, and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Wipe pan clean and set aside.
• Remove top layer of Saran Wrap. Top pounded steak with mushroom and spinach mixture, spreading to 1 even layer over entirety of steak, and top entirety with crumbled blue cheese.
• Begin to roll your steak, using the lower Saran Wrap to 'pinch' the roll for tightness. Go slow and pinch tight!
• Slice into 1 1/2 to 2 inch sections using sharp kitchen knife. Pierce through 2 skewers diagonally to hold sliced roll in place (see picture in post for example). Tip- If your skewers are too long, cut them in half!
• Heat 1 tbsp remaining olive oil in pan (seasoned cast iron works great!). Sear steak rolls on each side for 7 minutes or until steaks reach desired level of doneness. Steak will leak sauce from the bleu cheese- spoon on top for added flavor.*Medium done steak is between 135-145 degrees. Well done steak is cooked at 160 degrees.
• Garnish if desired- Reduced balsamic and basil optional. Enjoy!
