Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb beef flank steak,then tenderized
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
****** stuffing ingredients:
1 clove garlic, minced
small bunch fresh spinach, lightly steamed....** my son gave me some from his garden...yum!
small pkg mozzarella cheese
olive oil
kitchen twine
1 tub of cream cheese with chives

Steps:

1. Have the butcher score your steak.Or you can take it home and tenderizer it yourself with a meat hammer. TIP:*******Grandma used pound it with the side of a saucer. Up and down, many times. In the older times we learned to "make do! "Hey.. It worked!
2. Sprinkle the steak with salt & pepper. Place a nice thick layer of cleaned fresh spinach on top of the pounded out steak followed with a few slices of mozzarella cheese,another layer of spinach, and slather on some cream cheese with chives, all to your liking.
3. Using both of your hands tightly roll the meat into a long log. Tie with kitchen twine at 2-2/12 inch intervals. TIP:******..... in the olden days, we used to keep our twine in a 1/2 of a coconut shell, with a hole punched out to put the ball of twine thru. and hung on the kitchen wall. always ready! Slice between the twine at about 2 inch intervals. So the twine is in the middle of you'r cut rolls. Season again with salt & pepper. In a skillet with a little olive oil, lightly brown the chopped garlic. Remove the garlic. Add the rolls to the skillet and sear over medium heat 2-3 minutes each side. Turn heat to med-low. Cover and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes on each side. Or done to your liking. After you remove the meat, you can add a little water, and use to make a delishes gravy,for some mashed potatoes...maybe???
