Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup mushrooms
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 6 pieces (approximately 12 inches each) kitchen twine

Directions

Step 1

Lay the flank steak flat on a clean cutting board and, if needed, trim any excess fat. Use a sharp knife to butterfly the steak by slicing it horizontally through the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 2

Open the butterflied steak like a book, cover it with plastic wrap, and pound it with a meat mallet to an even thickness, approximately 1/2 inch.

Step 3

Season both sides of the steak evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 5

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if needed. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Crumble the cooked bacon and add it to the skillet. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Spread the spinach, mushroom, bacon, and cheese mixture evenly over the surface of the steak.

Step 8

Starting from one short end, tightly roll up the steak into a log shape with the filling inside. Use kitchen twine to tie the roll securely in 2-inch intervals.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak roll on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or your desired doneness.

Step 12

Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Cut the steak into 1-inch slices, remove the twine, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
