Matambre: An Argentinian Stuffed Flank Steak

With hard boiled eggs, bell peppers and a mixture of cilantro, garlic and olive oil.

The matambre is then grilled to perfection and cut into thin slices before enjoying.


Ingredients

  • 2 lb flank steak
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 2 hard boiled eggs, quartered
  • ½ green bell pepper, sliced
  • ½ red bell pepper, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare your grill for cooking over medium direct heat.
  2. Start by butterflying the steak by slicing it and opening it up like a book. If you want to

    make the meat thinner, you can pound it with a mallet to flatten it out and even out

    the thickness.

  3. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper

    and red pepper flakes.

  4. Pour the cilantro and parsley mixture over the flank steak, and brush it evenly over

    the entire surface of the steak.

  5. Arrange the quartered eggs in 3 rows across the flank steak at different intervals.

    Repeat with the sliced peppers. Carefully roll the meat up over the filling, I did it from

    left to right, across the grain, jelly roll style. Tie with butcher's twine to hold it together.

    Season the outside of the roll generously with salt and pepper.

  6. The temperature on your grill should read around 400 F degrees. Place the roll on

    the grill and grill on both sides for about 4 or 5 minutes per side, about 20 minutes in total.

  7. Let the roll rest for 15 minutes before slicing into it.


Notes

If the inside of the matambre is not done to your liking and prefer the meat more

well done, place the roll in a baking dish and roast in the oven for another 20

minutes at 400 F degrees.
