Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Stuffed Flank Steak.
Step 1
Start by preheating your charcoal grill, like a Big Green Egg®, to a cozy 375°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the grill warms up, give the grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Next, take your flank steak and lay it flat on a clean surface.
Step 4
With a steady hand, slice the steak horizontally, stopping about half an inch from the other side, and then gently open it up like a book, revealing a beautiful canvas for your delicious filling.
Step 5
Now, grab some butcher's twine and lay it out on a plate, spacing the strings about an inch apart.
Step 6
Place your opened steak on top and sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 7
It’s time to add some vibrant greens! Spread a hearty layer of fresh baby spinach over the steak, followed by an even distribution of crumbled feta cheese, chopped kalamata olives, and if you’re feeling indulgent, some crispy bacon bits for that extra crunch.
Step 8
Starting from the edge closest to you, carefully roll the steak up tightly, pressing the filling down as you go to keep everything snug inside.
Step 9
Once you have a nice, tight roll, secure it with the butcher's twine, ensuring it holds its shape while grilling.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to grill your masterpiece! Place the stuffed flank steak over direct heat, turning it at least once to ensure even cooking.
Step 11
Grill for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the steak feels firm and reaches a slightly pink center.
Step 12
For the best results, use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness; you’re aiming for a perfect 140°F (60°C).
Step 13
As the aroma fills the air, you’ll know you’re in for a treat.
Step 14
Once done, let it rest for a few moments before slicing into it, revealing the colorful filling inside.
Step 15
Enjoy your delicious grilled stuffed flank steak, a dish that’s sure to impress family and friends alike!.
