Preparation:

– Preheat the oven to 425F.

– Next, butterfly your steak, if you don’t know how please check out this video. Here is a tip that will help you with that: If picking up a steak from a deli, ask if they will butterfly it for you. Also, you can find flank steaks that have already been butterflied at some grocery stores. They might sell, so you can just buy from them. Butterflied steaks are usually rolled up with a tight seal, check the prepared meats.

– Even out the thickness of the steak by using a meat mallet, going for for 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

– Than In a large bowl, lightly whisk with a fork the egg yolk. Add panko bread crumbs and spinach, mixing with the egg. And finally finish off by tossing in the sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

– Spreading it out evenly, top the butterflied steak with cheese stuffing. Leave a one inch border along the edges, clear of stuffing. Sprinkle top of stuffing with pepper to taste and 1/4 tbs garlic salt.

– Roll the steak along the ripples in the meat, starting off with the smallest end first. Tuck in any stray pieces while rolling the steak tightly.

– Than by using a cooking twine, snugly loop and tie the twine along the steak, separated in two inch. String should be loose enough to slightly compress the meat. But not to tight or it will begin to cut into the steak.

– Take the stuffed and tied flank steak, place it on a baking sheet. Put some olive oil on the steak and use your fingers to thoroughly rub it into the meat. Than use the remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic and put it on the top of the steak.

– Bake in the oven for 35 minutes, after that set the oven to broil and cook for another five to ten minutes. Caution: There may be a little smoke while broiling, depending on how much juice the steak released while cooking.

– Finally remove the stuffed flank from oven and let rest for fifteen minutes and let it cool down before serving.
