Stuffed Flank Steak

Ingredients:

• 1   flank steak (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
• 1   package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 1/2  cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1   jar (7 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
• 2   tablespoons seasoned dry bread crumbs
• 1   egg yolk
• 3/4  teaspoon garlic salt
• 3/4  teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1   tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Lay steak on work surface. Holding sharp knife parallel to work surface and starting at a long side, slice flank steak in half to opposite long side, without cutting all the way through; open up the steak like a book. Flatten slightly to an even thickness.

3. Squeeze liquid from spinach; discard liquid. In medium-size bowl, combine spinach, cheese, peppers, bread crumbs, egg yolk, 1/4 teaspoon each of the garlic salt and the pepper.

4. Season steak with an additional 1/4 teaspoon each of the garlic salt and pepper. Press filling onto steak, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Roll up steak to enclose filling, beginning on a short side; the grain of the meat will be running from left to right. Tuck any loose filling back into ends.

5. Tie steak with cotton twine at 2-inch intervals to secure. Rub outside with oil, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each garlic salt and pepper.

6. Roast at 425 degrees F for 35 minutes, then increase heat to broil and broil for 10 minutes, turning once. Let meat rest 15 minutes. Remove twine, slice and serve.
