Grilled Stuffed Flank Steak
- 2- 1/2 pounds Flank Steak
- 2 whole Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 1 whole Small Shallot, Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Sage Leaves, Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 ounces, weight Thinly Sliced Prosciutto
- 4 ounces, weight Thinly Sliced Provolone
- 1 whole Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 1 whole Ball Of Twine
- 12 whole Wooden Skewers Soaked In Water For 30 Minutes
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, shallot, parsley, sage, and olive oil.
- Set aside this mixture aside.
- Use a sharp knife to butterfly the flank steak.
- Align the flank steak so that the grain runs parallel with the edge of the counter.
- Butterfly away.
- Basically, you are just cutting in half, horizontally, so its half as thick as it originally was.
- Finally, use a mallet to pound it thinly into a 9 inch x 12 inch rectangle.
- Spread the garlic mixture over the steak, leaving a 2 inch border around the edges.
- Layer on the prosciutto and then the provolone, and roll the whole thing up, making sure you end up with the seam side down.
- Tie and skewer the roll.
- Tie the roll in the middle.
- Then, tie a piece of twine 1/2 inch from the end.
- Repeat on the opposite end.
- Continue adding twine at 1 inch intervals, making sure to alternate sides after each time you tie.
- Your goal is to make sure the filling does not get squeezed out either end.
- Place skewers through the roll of beef on the bottom side, near the seam and through to the other side, very close to the twine.
- Using a sharp chefs knife, slice the roll between pieces of twine into 1-inch-thick pinwheels.
- Use wire cutters to trim the skewers to a more manageable size; about 1 inch sticking out on each side.
- Season pinwheels lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Heat and oil your grill.
- Grill the pinwheels over a medium high heat, directly, for 3-6 minutes on one side.
- Using tongs, flip pinwheels, and grill until second side is well browned, 3 to 5 minutes longer.
- Remove from direct heat, and cook over indirect heat until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F. This will take 1 4 minutes.
- Remove pinwheels to a serving platter.
- Tent with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Remove the skewers and twine and enjoy!
