Units Scale
- 1/4 cup of dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
- 1 1-pound of beef flank steak or top round steak (trimmed of separable fat)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 10–ounce package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of snipped fresh basil
Instructions
- In a small bowl soak the dried tomatoes in enough hot water to cover for 10 minutes. Drain and snip into small pieces.
- Meanwhile, score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals.
- Place meat between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Working from center to edges, pound with the flat side of a meat mallet into a 12×8-inch rectangle. Remove plastic wrap.
- Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- Spread the spinach over the steak. Sprinkle the softened tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and basil.
- Roll the steak up from a short side. Secure with wooden toothpicks at 1-inch intervals, starting ½ inch from an end. Cut between the toothpicks into eight 1-inch slices.
- Place sides cut side down on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat until done as desired, turning once.
- Allow 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare (145°F) or 12 to 16 minutes for medium (160°).
- Before serving, remove toothpicks.
