"I saw a leg of lamb prepared this way on TV and thought it would be terrific for a flank steak. This steak is stuffed with garlic confit and sun-dried tomatoes, rolled, then pan seared before roasting in the oven. I used Recipe #419210."

ingredients

For the Stuffing
¹⁄₂ cup sun-dried tomato, coarse chopped
5 kalamata olives, pitted and coarse chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, minced
¹⁄₄ - ¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried thyme
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 garlic cloves, confit or 1 tablespoon garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¹⁄₂ tablespoon red wine vinegar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cracked black pepper
For the Flank Steak
1 - 1 ¹⁄₂ lb flank steak
salt & freshly ground black pepper
olive oil
¹⁄₂ cup water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic cloves, confit crushed or 1 teaspoon garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons canola oil or 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

directions

Combine all the stuffing ingredients in a food processor and process until they form a smooth paste, about 45 to 60 seconds.
Prepare the flank steak by placing between plastic and pounding to a thickness of 1/3 inch; score on one side in a criss-cross pattern.
Turn steak over and season well with salt and pepper.
Smooth all but 1 tablespoon of the stuffing over the entire steak; reserved stuffing will be used later in a sauce.
Roll steak up and tie with kitchen twine in about 3 places.
Place the steak, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least two hours up to overnight (you want the outside to dry a bit and the inside to marinate).
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and bring the steak to room temperature.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat; season steak on all sides generously with salt and pepper and sear well, in a little oil, on all sides.
Meanwhile combine reserved stuffing, water, mustard, garlic, rosemary, and oils in a roasting pan or baking dish; place a rack for the meat on top.
Place meat on rack, brush with pan juices, and roast to an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
Let rest about 15 minutes, then slice into 1/4 inch slices; drizzle with pan sauce and more extra virgin olive oil if desired.

We may live without poetry, music and art;   We may live without conscience and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks.   He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love -- what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining? -- Owen Meredith     I'm an all-American original, having lived in Hawaii, New York, Texas, South Carolina, and Miami.  I also served 7 years in the US Army.  My husband is from Bogota, Colombia and has also lived in the former Soviet Union.  But now we are both in NY.   Tomasi enjoyes a bath! <a href=http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/?action=view&current=tomas.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/tomas.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a>   Some of my recipes: <object width=480 height=360 data=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw type=application/x-shockwave-flash> <param name=data value=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw /> <param name=src value=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw /> <param name=wmode value=transparent /> </object> <a href=http://photobucket.com/slideshows target=_blank><img src=http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif alt=/ /></a><a href=http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/?action=view?t=12cdcf0a.pbw target=_blank><img src=http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif alt=/ /></a>     I also have the genealogy bug!  I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years.  One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s.  Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s.  So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic.  Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!
