List of Ingredients




1 2# or 3# flank steak
1/4 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon catsup
1 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of salt
Fresh spinach leaves
2 carrots
2 parsnips
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons cracked black pepper
1/4 cup oil for sautéing

Recipe



With a mallet, flatten and slightly enlarge flank steak (if you can make it into a nice rectangle, so much the better).

Put cider, oil, vinegar, catsup and steak in a Ziplock bag and marinate overnight.

Peel carrots and parsnips and slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips. Cut strips into 1/4-inch sticks (they should be as long as possible).

Season marinated steak with salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Cover steak with one layer of spinach leaves, sprinkle breadcrumbs over spinach and place alternately one carrot stick then one parsnip stick about 1/4 inch apart over the entire flank steak (if the sticks are not long enough, put two together end to end ).

Roll up steak like a jelly roll and tie with butcher's twine.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet, rub roll with cracked pepper and place in skillet to brown on all sides. After browning, roast steak roll, covered, in a 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes.

When roll is done (internal temperature of 140 degrees), let it rest 5 minutes and then slice into pinwheels 1/2 inch thick.

Serve two slices per person with potatoes and gravy.
