Ingredients
- 1 pound beef flank steak
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup low-sodium Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the beef flank steak on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the steak horizontally into a flat, even piece about 1/4 inch thick by butterflying it carefully.
Step 2
Cover the steak with plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet to an even thickness, being careful not to tear the meat.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the surface of the steak.
Step 4
Layer the fresh spinach leaves evenly over the steak, followed by strips of red bell pepper, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped basil leaves.
Step 5
Starting from the short side, carefully roll the steak up tightly, securing with toothpicks or kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Sear the beef roll on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your liking.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the rolled beef into pinwheels and serve garnished with fresh parsley.
