Stuffed Flank Steak

This stuffed flank steak recipe is yet another favorite of our family. It is chosen as a “birthday dinner” several times throughout the year and makes a great Sunday afternoon family dinner. It’s a little more complex to prepare compared than our slow cooker roaster beef recipe , but it is well worth the extra effort. My wife’s family is from Canada and this is a recipe they’ve been enjoying for years. They frequently refer to it as “mock chicken”. We assume it is because it is a substitute for chicken and dressing. Give this recipe a try, we’re sure you’ll love it.

Ingredients

A typical package of flank steak is approximately 2 lbs. A 2 lbs flank steak will serves 4-6 people.

Stuffing Ingredients

½ loaf bread - cubed
Onion - chopped
1 T poultry seasoning (or sage)
½ C Butter - melted

Mix the stuffing ingredients together and set aside

Stuffed Flank Steak Preparation

Pound flank steak to even thickness. As demonstrated above, pounding meat in a sealed vacuum packer bag is a great way to avoid the messy cleanup. FYI, vacuum packers are good for so much more. Check out our article on vacuum packers to see how they can make your life a little easier.

After the flank steak is pounded out, score one side in a diamond pattern. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic. Place stuffing on one side of steak. Roll into jelly roll style with the grain running horizontally to you, so when you slice it, it’s against the grain. Tie with string around both ends and in the middle.

Cooking Instructions

After the flank steak is stuffed, fry it in a little oil until browned on all sides. Place it in an ovenproof pan and bake in a 350-degree oven, covered, for 2 hours.

Serving

While the meat rests, make gravy with brown bits and stuffing in the baking dish (yummo!).  After meet rests for 10 minutes, slice ¾-1 inch slices.  Serve it with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable.  A little gravy on the meat/stuffing pinwheels is delicious.

Flank steak is typically a little tougher cut of meat.  However, pounding it out, baking it, and slicing it thinly against the grain makes this a melt in your mouth meal.  It’s great for special occasions and sure to be a big hit with everyone!  Enjoy!
