Spinach, feta, and roasted red peppers beautifully highlight the flavors of this grilled flank steak.
This gorgeous rolled flank steak looks incredibly impressive, but is quite simple to prepare. It is easy enough for any occasion, but pretty enough for a special one or for company.
To make this recipe you will need:
- flank steak
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- jarred roasted red pepper
- baby spinach
- herbed, crumbled feta cheese (omit for paleo)
- extra virgin olive oil
- fillet knife
- kitchen twine
- basting brush
- grill
To begin, you will need a nice, two pound flank steak. Butterfly open your flank steak with a sharp knife. I find that a boning or fillet knife works best.
Never butterflied a flank steak? No problem! Here’s a tutorial video that I made a loooong time ago.
Once your steak is butterflied, lightly salt & pepper it.
Spread diced, jarred roasted red peppers, baby spinach, and herbed feta cheese over the top of the steak, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.

Starting at the end, along the grain of the meat, roll the steak up like you are going to make cinnamon rolls.
Tie the roll closed with kitchen twine in 1 inch increments. Trim off the excess twine.
Brush the outside of the roll with olive oil and then salt and pepper the outside.
Heat your grill to high heat and place your steak roll on the grates.
Cook it on one side for 2 minutes and turn over.

Turn the heat off on the side with the steak and cook over indirect heat at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until it registers 135 -150°F internally with a thermometer – depending on how done you like your steak.
Allow your steak to rest for 10 minutes and then slice into beautiful medallions.
Enjoy!
