Baked Flank Steak Recipes

BAKED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• First, marinate the flank steak for 6 hours or overnight. The meat is thin and it takes well to marinades so this will also add flavor and help tenderize the meat before it's cooked. Please don't skip this step!
• Place the flank steak in a gallon sized baggie and add in the red wine, olive oil, lemon juice, roughly chopped shallots, herbs salt and pepper. Close the bag, give it a gentle shake to mix around the ingredients. Place in fridge for at least 6 hours.
• Once the meat is marinated, line a baking sheet with foil. Using a pair of tongs, remove the flank steak from the baggie, gently shake off the excess marinade from the steak and lay flat on the baking sheet.
• Heat oven to BROIL. You will broil the flank steak for 6-7 minutes on each side. This cook time will produce about a medium to medium-well flank steak. Cook 4-6 minutes for more medium-rare steak. Beefs tender, juicy texture is optimum when cooked to medium rare 145°F to medium 160° F doneness. To determine the perfect doneness, a meat thermometer should be used.
• Once you take the flank steak out of the oven, wrap the flank steak up with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into it. Be sure to cut against the grain when slicing and serve with fingerling potatoes and a green veggie.
• Wash the potatoes, slice them in half and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet in an even layer, flesh side down and cook in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until fork tender.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a large saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add in 1 shallot, finely minced and cook until soft (1-2 minutes). Add in 1/2 cup wine and 1/2 cup beef broth, bring to a boil and cook until thickened and reduced, about 5-10 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and season with salt, to taste, and honey. Pour over flank steak.

BAKED FLANK STEAK ROULADE STUFFED WITH BACON AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Sandwich the flank steaks between waxed paper and pound with a kitchen mallet to tenderize.
• Whisk olive oil, Italian seasoning, pepper, and garlic for marinade together in a small bowl. Pour into the bottom of a baking dish that's large enough to hold both steaks in a single layer. Add steaks so that one side is touching the marinade; do not flip to coat. Let sit while you prepare the filling.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly browned and not yet crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Mix cream cheese, Italian cheese, spinach, and garlic together in a bowl. Spread cheese mixture on the unmarinated side of the steaks. Place 5 bacon strips on top the cheese on each steak. Roll steaks up and pin with toothpicks to secure.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing mix, water and butter or margarine. Mix well and let stand for 5 minutes. Spoon the stuffing onto the steak, leaving a 1 inch border. Add the green onions and the red bell pepper.
• Roll from the long edge of the steak and secure with wooden toothpicks. Place steak seam side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a separate small bowl, combine the gravy, wine OR apple juice, garlic and cheese. Mix well and pour over the steak.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, remove from oven and let stand before slicing.
