Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 2 pound flank steak, butterflied*
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 10 ounces beef consommé
Stuffing
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup sweet onion, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, minced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Tenderize the Steak: Use a meat mallet to butterfly and flatten the 2 pound flank steak carefully, making it thin enough to roll but without creating holes. If unsure, ask your butcher for help in butterflying the meat.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9×13 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms, minced sweet onion, minced garlic, and Italian parsley. Cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced by about half. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Season and Assemble: Lay the butterflied flank steak on a cutting board and season evenly with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper. Spread the cooled mushroom mixture evenly over the steak, leaving about 1/2 inch clear around the edges. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
- Roll and Tie: Carefully roll the steak along the grain into a tight roll. Secure the roll with cooking twine, making sure it is snug but not so tight that the filling is pushed out.
- Season the Exterior: Rub the outside of the steak roll with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. In a small bowl, mix remaining 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this spice mixture all over the tied roast.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the roast in the prepared baking dish. Pour 10 ounces of beef consommé into the bottom of the dish around the roast, but not over it.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for rare or up to 140°F for medium doneness.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into pinwheels to serve.
