Ultimate Grilled Stuffed Flank Steak
- 1 cup bread crumbs plain dry
- 2 1/2 tablespoons capers drained
- 4 tablespoons parsley leaves freshly chopped
- 7 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup sweet red bell peppers, roasted diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
- 2 pounds beef, flank steak (london broil) 1 flank steak, trimmed of excess fat and frozen for 20 minutes
- 8 ounces ham black forest, thinly sliced
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces asiago cheese sliced, or swiss, provolone, etc.
- Place the steak in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up.
- Combine together the bread crumbs, roasted peppers, 2 tablespoons of oil, capers, parsley, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Set aside.
- Season the flank steak (salt and pepper).
- Butterfly the flank steak from the shorter side lengthwise.
- This takes some care to try and keep the upper and lower slice even.
- Work slowly bit by bit.
- Leave about 3/4 before slicing all the way through to that the long length holds the two slice together firmly.
- Open up the flank steak like a book.
- Add a layer of the ham to one slice (one half).
- Then a layer of the cheese.
- And then the bread crumb stuff made earlier.
- It will seem very full; use your hands to form and stuff the ingredients as best as you can.
- Fold over the unstuffed slice as if closing a book, form with your hands to help keep the stuffing.
- Starting on the open length of the steak, carefully roll up as tightly as possible.
- Try to keep the stuffing inside with the steak encompassing the contents.
- Use butcher's twine to tie the steak up tightly.
- It works best to tie up each end and work your way towards the center tying in about 1 inch intervals as needed.
- Season the steak with salt and black pepper, brush with 2 tablespoons oil and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
- Twist the ends of the plastic wrap and form the stuffed steak into a uniformly shaped cylinder.
- Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- 20 minutes before grilling remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow to warm up to take the chill off.
- Pre-heat your grill for at least 10 minutes.
- Sear the steak over direct heat, turning every few minutes until browned and grill all over.
- Turn off one of the burners to create an area of the grill with indirect heat.
- Place the steak over indirect heat and close the lid.
- Drizzle or brush with some olive oil.
- Cover and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure a perfect medium-rare at 120 degrees F.
- Remove the steak from the grill, cover with foil and allow to rest at least 5 minutes.
- Cut the twine with scissors and remove.
- Using a serrated knife, slice into thick pinwheel shaped slices.
- Arrange on a platter and serve.
- Serves 8 but it's awfully tasty so probably only 4 to 6 depending on appetites.
