1 good sized flank steak, butterflied and
marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs de provence.
.
3 yellow/orange peppers - roasted and peeled (if you have never
done this, see below)
about 1/3 pound thinly sliced prociutto
basil
parmegan cheese (canned shaker variety)
lay out the marinated butter flied flank
steak, cover evenly with a layer of the prosciutto. . .spread
the roasted peppers along one long edge (they should cover about
1/4 - 1/3 of the steak.
. Sprinkle liberally with the basil and Parmesan cheese . . .roll
tightly in a log (you may need to use some tooth picks to hold
them, I don't). ... lay them in a pan (I used a big ceramic dish
which worked quite well in the egg). . Drizzle some of the left
over marinade on them . . .cook for about 45 minutes at 375 -
400 dome temp for medium (rare is a little too mushy/stringy for
this one). slice them into thin rolls. .
. makes a nice presentation. . the recipe originally calls for
them to be served at room temps, we like them warmer . . .your
choice.
NOTES about butter flied flank steak and roasted peppers
1. You can ask your butcher to butterfly
the flank steak or you can do it yourself. . lay the flank steak
flat, using a long knife to slice the steak into two thin halves
be keeping the knife parallel to the cutting board (depending
on your pan/dish, you can leave it in one big flat piece or slice
completely through it and have two pieces (two are easier to work
with into two small rolls).. it is also easier to slice through
if
you put the steak flat in the freezer for about a half an hour
so that it is a little 'stiff'. . .
2. if you haven't peeled peppers before,
you cut them into flat slices, put them skin side up in the broiler
until they are black and burning on top. . .then pull them off
and immediately put
them into a large zip-lock baggie for at least 15 minutes. ..
pull them out and the skins will peal right off leaving you with
lovely soft pepper pieces.
