Flamboyant Flank Steak With Fragrant Filling
- Marinade
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 1/2 lbs flank steaks
- Filling
- 2 bulbs garlic, roasted (see end of recipe for instructions)
- 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup roasted red pepper, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons dijon-style mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/4 cup cayenne pepper
- Garnish
- chopped fresh garlic
- rosemary sprig
- roasted red pepper, strips
- For the marinade, combine all ingrediants in a blender, and process until smooth.
- With a knife, score the flank steak in a diamond patteron on both sides. Place the steak in a heavy-duty locking plastic bag with the marinade and seal the bag well. Refrigerate the steak for at least 1 hour, turning the bag occasionally.
- For the filling, squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins into a bowl. Add the remaining filling ingredients and mix well.
- Prepare a medium-hot barbecue fire or heat the broiler.
- When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place the steak flat on a work surface. Spread the filling evenly over the steak.
- Starting from the long edge of the steak, roll the steak tightly, jelly-roll fashion. With a knife, cut the steak into 6 equal pieces and secure each piece with a skewer.
- Grill or broil the steak pieces for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the steak is the desired doneness.
- Garnish servings with chopped garlic, rosemary sprigs and red pepper strips.
- 1*To roast garlic, cut off about 1/4 inch from the top of the garlic bulbs. Place the garlic bulbs on a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper and wrap with the foil. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes, until the garlic pulp is soft.
