Flank Steak Roulade with Cinnamon Bread and Chorizo Stuffing

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Steak

Ingredients

  • 9 oz. tube Mexican chorizo
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced poblano chiles
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 8 oz. cinnamon swirl bread, diced and staled
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 lb. flank steak

Directions

  1. Cook chorizo in a saucepan over medium-high heat until cooked through, 5 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan and return to burner.

  2. Sweat onions, poblano, cumin, and oregano in 2 tbsp. oil in same pan over medium heat, covered, stirring often, until onions soften, about 8 minutes.

  3. Toss bread, cilantro, and broth with onion mixture for the stuffing, then season with salt and pepper.

  4. Butterfly steak by slicing horizontally, with the grain of the meat, nearly all the way through, so the steak opens like a book. Cover steak with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/4-inch thickness.

  5. Preheat oven to 400.

  6. Spread chorizo over cut side of steak to within 1 inch of edges, then top with stuffing. Roll steak like a jelly roll, then tie at 2-inch intervals.

  7. Add remaining 2 tbsp. oil to a saute pan, place roulade in pan, seam-side down, then transfer pan to oven.

  8. Roast roulade until cooked through, 50-55 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer roulade to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
