Ingredients:
1.5–2 lbs flank steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Kitchen twine or toothpicks for securing
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly the steak by slicing horizontally, being cautious not to cut all the way through. Open it like a book.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, oregano, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the steak.
In another bowl, combine the chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley. Spread this mixture evenly over the inside of the steak.
Carefully roll the steak up tightly from one end to the other. Secure the roll with kitchen twine or toothpicks at intervals.
Place the rolled steak on a roasting pan or baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into 1-inch thick rounds and serve.
