In this recipe, the meat is tenderized by pounding with a mallet, and then wrapped around a filling of scallions, mozzarella, and roasted red peppers.
Ingredients
- 1- 1/2 lb. flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (½ cup)
- 4 scallions sliced (1/3 cup)
- 2 ounces (¼ cup) roasted red peppers cut into thin strips
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450° with rack in center. Between two sheets of plastic wrap, pound steak to 1/2-inch thickness with a meat mallet or heavy skillet. Using a sharp knife, score the steak on one side in a cross-hatched pattern. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, and garlic. Marinate at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.
- Remove steak from marinade. Lay steak on cutting board, scored side down, with a short end facing edge of work surface. Cover steak with cheese, scallions, and peppers, leaving 1/2-inch border on the long sides and 2-inch border at the far short end. Season with salt and pepper. Starting from closest side, roll up tightly. Using kitchen twine, tie steak crosswise. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place, seam side down in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes for medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes, and remove string before slicing.
