Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese
  • 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 0 toothpicks or kitchen twine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

On a cutting board, lay out the flank steak. Using a sharp knife, butterfly the steak by slicing it horizontally until it can be opened like a book. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3

Place a piece of plastic wrap over the steak and gently pound it with a meat mallet until it is an even thickness, about 1/2-inch.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Spread the cooked spinach evenly over the surface of the steak. Follow by sprinkling the feta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes on top of the spinach.

Step 7

Season the inside of the steak with salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme.

Step 8

Starting from one of the long edges, gently roll the steak into a tight log.

Step 9

Secure the rolled steak with toothpicks or by tying it with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals.

Step 10

Brush the outside of the steak with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and season with a little more salt and pepper.

Step 11

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rolled steak on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 12

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare).

Step 13

Remove the steak from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 14

Slice the steak crosswise into 1-inch thick pinwheels and serve warm.
