Stuffed Flank Steak
6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
1 (2 -3 pound) flank steak
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 strips lean bacon
4 slices ham
4 slices provolone cheese
4 large hard-cooked eggs, cut in half
METHOD
1 On cutting board, use a sharp knife to butterfly the flank steak
right through the center. Be careful to keep both thin slices attached.
Season steak with salt and pepper and cover with plastic wrap.
Tenderize the meat by hitting it evenly with a tenderizing mallet
or heavy fry pan.
2 Remove plastic wrap and begin to assemble the roll. First lay all four
strips of bacon on flank lengthwise. Top with ham slices and then
cheese slices. Place eggs flat side down on top of the cheese. (Form
a single row.) Lay the olives in a row next to eggs. Lay the pepper
slices in a row lengthwise next to olives. Sprinkle with parsley. Roll
the flank steak up lengthwise. Secure roll with butchers twine. Tuck
ends of roll into center before continuing to tie. Tie a knot every 2-3
inches, then one long tie lengthwise.
3 Preheat pressure cooker to 400°. Add beef broth, water, onion and
bay leaf.
4 Place entire rolled flank into pot and secure pressure cooker lid.
5 When pressure indicator pops up, reduce temperature to 250°.
Set a kitchen timer for 45 minutes.
6 When time is up, turn temperature dial to off. Flip the
pressure release valve to release pressure. After pressure is
released, remove lid.
7 Remove roast and refrigerate. Reserve liquid for serving.
PRESENTATION
Allow the flank roll to chill completely; this makes the roll set up and cut
beautifully. Cut into 1 1/2-inch slices. Each slice will look like a work of art.
Serve cold on beautiful lettuce leaves with mustard on the side. Or, after
slicing, you may reheat and serve with heated reserved juices. Either
way, your guests will be very pleased.
