Description

This savory stuffed flank steak is a show-stopping main course perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion. Tender flank steak is rolled with a flavorful filling of spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and garlic, then seared and baked to juicy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5–2 lbs flank steak
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed preferred)
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Instructions

Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board. If thicker than 1/2 inch, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until even. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sun-dried tomatoes and feta. Let cool for a couple minutes.
Spread the filling evenly over the steak, leaving about 1 inch at the edges. Starting at one long side, tightly roll up the steak like a jelly roll. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine every couple inches.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet over medium-high. Sear the rolled steak on all sides until browned, about 1 minute per side.
Transfer the seared steak to a baking dish. Bake uncovered for 20–30 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
Remove steak from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice into 1-inch rounds and serve.

Notes

Don’t overfill the steak to prevent leaks. Let the filling cool before stuffing for easier rolling. You can prep the steak ahead and refrigerate until ready to cook. Variations include swapping spinach for mushrooms, using different cheeses, or adding roasted peppers. For medium-rare, bake until internal temp is 130°F. If grilling, sear over direct heat then finish over indirect heat.
