Instructions
- BUTTERFLY THE FLANK STEAK. Use a sharp knife to trim any excess fat from the steak, then slice the flank steak along the thin edge almost entirely through, a bit at a time, until the steak opens up like a book.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the steak with Cajun seasonings, salt and pepper.
- With the steak opened up, layer on the peppers, garlic and onion, then the baby spinach, then the cheese.
- Roll the steak up so that all of the ingredients are stuffed inside of it. Tie it up with cooking twine.
- Heat the oil in a large cast iron pan or pot to medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed flank steak on each side, 4-5 minutes, until you get a nice char.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until it is done to your preference. See the recipe notes for cooking times and temperatures.
- Remove the steak from the oven and cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Test the stuffed flank steak temperature with a meat thermometer. Pull it out 5 degrees lower than your preferred doneness, as it will continue to cook and the temperature will rise a bit during the resting period. Desired temperatures are:
- • Rare: 125 F degrees• Medium Rare: 135 F degrees• Medium: 145 F degrees• Medium Well: 150 F degrees• Well Done: 160 F degrees
