When making this easy sheet pan dinner, be sure to roll the stuffed flank steak with the grain. That way, you will be cutting the finished dish against the grain, which will yield more tender slices. Baby carrots look prettiest when you leave a little bit of the stem attached.
Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach and Asiago Stuffed Flank Steak with Brown-Sugared Carrots
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. (750 g) flank steak, butterflied
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 cups (3 oz./90 g) packed spinach leaves
- 4 tsp. olive oil
- 1/2 cup (2 oz./60 g) shredded Asiago cheese
- 2 small red bell peppers, roasted, seeded, and cut into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces
- 2 bunches baby carrots, peeled and stems trimmed
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 Tbs. firmly packed dark brown sugar
Directions
1. Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Lay the flank steak on a work surface so the grain is running left to right and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, toss together the spinach and 2 tsp. of the oil and arrange on the steak, leaving a 1-inch (2.5-cm) border. Sprinkle the cheese over the spinach and place the peppers in a single layer on top. Starting with the side closest to you, roll up the steak tightly, taking care to keep the stuffing inside. Place, seam side down, on one end of the prepared pan. Using kitchen string, tie the roll at 3-inch (8-cm) intervals. Brush the steak with the remaining 2 tsp. oil and season all over with salt and pepper.
3. To ensure even cooking, cut any larger carrots in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. salt. Using your hands, spread the butter mixture all over the carrots and place on the other end of the pan.
4. Roast for 15 minutes and then toss the carrots. Continue roasting until the carrots are fork-tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the flank steak roll registers 125°F (52°C), 15 to 20 minutes longer. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Snip the strings and cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) slices. Serve the carrots alongside. Serves 4.

I made this flank steak roulade last night and it was a huge success. Very delicious! The only additions I made to the published recipe were some dried oregano and some very thinly sliced prosciutto, which I added before the Asiago cheese. The roasting time was pretty much exact. I will say that it was helpful to have a “helper” with the task of rolling and tying the strings.
I also made the carrots according to the recipe, but I used regular-sized carrots that I cut into 2 inch pieces, at an angle, instead of using the whole baby ones with the stems. They were tasty, too. I also added some halved Brussels sprouts to the pan, which I had first tossed in a bowl with a little olive oil and high-quality Balsamic vinegar.
