Spinach Stuffed Steak Roulades

This recipe was such a yummy change up to eating steak plus it was fun to make!! I got the olive tapenade from trader joes but you can easily make it yourself. It is just chopped kalamata olives, garlic, capers and olive oil. This recipe would also be fantastic if you added prosciutto to the mix! Hope you try this one! Sorry for the lack of photos my camera deleted them luckily I took a few with my phone!

• Ingredients:
• 
  
• 1/2 pound flank steak
• 1/2 cup olive tapenade
• 2 cups spinach, thick stems removed
• salt and black pepper

Butterfly the Flank steak. Cut the steak in half horizontally (don’t cut all the way through) and open like a book.

Season steak with salt and  pepper or McCormicks seasoning or any favorite steak seasoning. 

• Spread the tapenade over the steak; top with the spinach. Roll up; tie with twine at 2-inch intervals. 

You can either put these on the grill or if you prefer you can brown them on 5 minutes each side in a cast iron skillet then transfer the skillet to a oven preheated to 350 and cook for 20 minutes (for medium rare).  Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. 

This recipe goes great with a fresh salad. Mix wet ingredients for dressing and add to fresh greens.

Salad ingredients: 

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 6 cups mixed greens
• 
  

I also made Green Beans with this recipe! Super simple chopped Bacon and Onion sauté for a few minutes then throw in the green beans. Add a few ounces of water to the pan and cover to steam for 7-10 minutes depending how crunchy or soft you like your green beans. Then salt and pepper to taste!
