Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pound the beef flank steak to 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, cooked spinach, diced roasted red pepper, egg, bread crumbs, and half of the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning; mix well.

Step 6

Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the flattened beef steak.

Step 7

Roll up the steak tightly starting from the shorter side and secure with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and pour the beef broth into the pan.

Step 11

Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 40 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 145°F (63°C).
