FLANK STEAK FLORENTINE

Steps:

• 1. Pound stead to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or a rolling pin. Set aside.
• 2. Cook the spinach according to the package directions. Drain well. Combine spinach, egg, and the next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well. Spread half of the spinach mixture over each flank steak to within 1 inch of the sides. Roll up the steaks , starting with the short sides. Tie with heavy kitchen string at 2-inch intervals.
• 3. Brown the steaks in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the steaks in an ungreased 11 x 7 x 1 1/2 inch baking dish.
• 4. Combine the tomato sauce, wine, onion, and garlic; pour over the steaks. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the steaks to a serving platter, reserving the tomato sauce mix. Set aside and keep warm.
• 5. Add enough water to the tomato mixture to measure 1 3/4 cups. Place tomato sauce mixture in a small saucepan. Combine 1/4 cup water and flour, stirring until smooth. Stir the flour mixture into the tomato sauce mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
• 6. To serve, slice the steak diagonally across the grain into 1 inch slices. Serve with the tomato gravy.

STUFFED FLANK STEAK FLORENTINE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish and set aside. 2. In a large bowl, combine all of the stuffing ingredients. Set aside. 3. Rinse the flank steak and pat it dry. Then use a sharp knife to score the steak in a diamond pattern on one side, if not already scored when purchased. Place 2 cups of the stuffing mixture on the unscored side of the steak, patting it almost to the edges of the meat. Roll the steak up jelly-roll fashion, and secure with skewers or string. Place the extra stuffing in the prepared dish, cover, and bake alongside the stuffed steak for the last 40 minutes of baking time. For a crisper crust, uncover the stuffing during the last 10 minutes. 4. Place the vegetable oil in a large, deep ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffed steak, and carefully brown it on all sides for about 20 minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for the mushrooms. 5. Cover the skillet and bake for 1 hour. Add the mushrooms and bake for 30 additional minutes, or until the meat is thoroughly cooked and tender and has reached a temperature of at least 145°F, pouring in additional beef broth or water as needed.
