ITALIAN FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a small saute pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, onions, and garlic and cook until translucent. Remove and let cool.
• Tenderize flank steak with a meat mallet and cut into 1/4-inch pieces, approximately 5 by 8 inches long. Lightly season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place carrots, red bell peppers, sun-dried tomato, and green onions in separate layers over the first 5 inches of the steak lengthwise. Top with garlic and onion mixture, then evenly coat with shredded mozzarella cheese and parsley.
• Roll flank steak, starting with end that has vegetables, firmly without pushing out vegetables. Secure rolled steak with skewers.
• To a rimmed plate stir the flour and Italian seasoning together and dredge the rolled flank steak, coating evenly.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a medium saute pan heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and when hot add the rolled flank steak, searing on all sides for about 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove the flank steak from the pan and place on a baking sheet. Place in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer.
• Place the saute pan back on burner and deglaze with the white wine. Stir, and reduce for 2 minutes, then add tomato sauce and chicken stock. Let mixture continue to reduce for 2 more minutes. Remove the steak from the oven and let rest. Slice on the bias 1/2-inch, shingle out, and top with sauce.

GRILLED PERI PERI SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the chilies and red pepper on a baking sheet, toss with 2 teaspoons of the canola oil and roast for 20 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, finely chop.
• Heat the remaining teaspoon of canola oil in a saute pan over medium heat, add the onion and garlic and sweat until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook until lightened in color, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Combine the pepper mixture with the vinegar, lime juice, salt, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a food processor and pulse until combined. While the food processor is running, stream in the olive oil slowly to achieve a smooth puree, similar in to texture to ketchup. Set aside 1/3 of the sauce for serving.
• Place the steak and the remaining 2/3 of the sauce in a large re-sealable plastic bag; toss to coat and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve with the reserved sauce on the side.
