Stuffed Steak With Prosciutto And Spinach Food

STUFFED STEAK WITH PROSCIUTTO AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Defrost spinach in microwave. Wrap in clean kitchen towel and wring chopped spinach dry.

• To create the cavity for the stuffing, use a long sharp knife (like a boning knife), and cut a 1 to 2-inch hole through the center of the roast making a lengthwise slit. Turn the meat around and cut another slit in the same spot so that your knife completes the cavity. Insert a wooden spoon into the cavity to make sure the hole is even and goes all the way through.
