• To prepare the flank steaks for stuffing; place one of the steaks on a work surface, cover it loosely with a piece of plastic wrap, and use a meat pounder to pound the steak until about 1/3 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, score the steak in a crisscross pattern, making 3 to 4 shallow cuts in each direction, being sure not to cut all the way through. Turn the steak over, and spread half the stuffing evenly over the unscored surface of the steak. Roll up the steak lengthwise, like a jelly roll. Using kitchen twine, tightly tie the steak to keep it securely rolled up. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining steak and stuffing.
