The flavor of flank steak, stuffed with spinach and bacon, grilled to perfection!
Recipe:
6 to 8 bacon slices
1 1/2 lbs flank steak, trimmed
3/4 tsp. lemon pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 tsp. salt
1 10-oz. pkg. spinach, thawed and drained
3 Tbsp. breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Cook the bacon in a skillet or microwave just until done, but not crisp and set aside.
Pound the flank steak to about 1/4-inch thickness and try to shape the meat into a rectangle. Sprinkle 2/3 of the lemon pepper over the meat and the salt over one side of the steak. Lay the bacon strips across the meat. Mix the spinach with the breadcrumbs, thyme and remaining lemon pepper, garlic and a dash of salt. Spread the mixture evenly over the bacon strips.
Roll the meat staring at the end nearest you. Secure with toothpicks at 1-1/2 inch intervals. Threat 2 pinwheels onto metal skewers.
Grill for 6 to 7 minutes on each side until the steak is cooked to desired temperature.

One of the more flavorful cuts of meat, flank steak is easy to marinate for extra flavor and grill for a variety of uses.
And here’s the recipe:

3 pounds flank steak
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. minced fresh rosemary

3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper

Lightly pierce steaks all over with a sharp knife. Whisk together remaining ingredients and transfer to a large resealable heavy-duty plastic bag. Add flank steaks and seal, pressing out excess air. Marinate steaks at least 6 hours and up to one day.

Prepare your grill for cooking by oiling the grates and setting them 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals. Turn the steaks only once and cook for a total of 12 minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes so the juices collect in the center of the meat. Slice the steaks very thin across the grain.

If using a grill pan, cook the steaks for 10 minutes for medium rare, turning only once.

3 Tbsp. canola oil

1 red bell pepper, julienne sliced
1 green bell pepper, julienne sliced

1 1/2 lbs. flank steak

1/2 Tbsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. cumin

Trim any fat from meat and score the meat. In a small bowl, combine salt, cumin, oregano, and bay leaf. Rub mixture into both sides of flank steak. Rub in the garlic. Pound the meat, gently at first, then working seasonings into meat. Place meat in a shallow dish. Squeeze the citrus juices over both sides, and refrigerate.
