How to Prepare Mushroom-Stuffed Flank Steak
Step 1: Prepare the Mushroom Filling
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Stir in the onion and garlic, then cook until softened and fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Steak
Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Make sure the steak is evenly flattened so it rolls easily and cooks evenly.
Step 3: Assemble the Roll
Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the surface of the steak, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully roll the steak up tightly from one end to the other. Secure it with kitchen twine to keep it in shape during cooking.
Step 4: Sear and Cook
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak roll on all sides until browned. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and roast until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
Step 5: Rest and Slice
Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for several minutes. This helps keep the juices inside. Slice into rounds and serve warm.
