Ingredients

1 large flank steak (2¼ lb.)
2 slices bacon
2 garlic cloves, minced
¾ cup plain dried bread crumbs
¼ cup flat-leaf parsley, minced
1 tsp. each salt and pepper
½ tsp. oregano
4 cups spinach leaves (about 5 oz.)
1 cup roasted red peppers, cut into strips
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Directions

  1. Place flank steak in freezer 20 to 30 minutes until firm but not frozen. Butterfly: With short end facing you, make horizontal lengthwise cut, slicing almost through to other side. Open like a book and push to flatten.
  2. Cook bacon until crisp. Drain and crumble into small bowl. Save 2 teaspoons bacon fat and cook garlic 30 seconds. Add to bowl. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle meat with oregano and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover with spinach, roasted peppers and crumb mixture, leaving a ½-inch border. Roll up from short end; tie with string.
  4. In large, ovenproof skillet, heat oil. Brown beef. Transfer to oven; roast 25 minutes without turning. Let rest 20 minutes before slicing.
