Categories     Beef

Yield 4-6 main-courses

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 flank steaks (about 1 lb. each)
1 tablespoon salt
3 large beefsteak tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 anaheim pepper (stem and seeds removed)
1 medium cucumber (peeled)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup stale bread crumbs
2 medium tomatoes
1 anaheim pepper
2 tbsp oil for cooking

Steps:

  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of salt over steaks and let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, remove stems from tomatoes and score X's in the ends opposite the original stems. Place tomatoes in a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Remove and peel skin off of tomatoes. Add tomatoes, garlic, pepper, cucumber, olive oil, salt, and water to a blender. Pulse until all are incorporated then blend on high for 30-45 seconds. Add bread crumbs then blend for 15 seconds more. Slice remaining tomatoes and pepper Pat-dry the steaks. Using a meat mallet, pound the steaks to a width of 1/3 of an inch. Rub about 3 tablespoons gazpacho over each steak. Spread tomato slices and pepper among the flank steaks. Starting at a small end of the steak, roll into a pinwheel, careful not to lose any of the tomato or pepper inside. Use toothpicks to keep rolled. Place in a dish with sides atleast 2 inches tall. Repeat with the other flank steak. Pour remaining gazpacho over steaks and let marinate in refrigerator no less than 1 hour, turning at least once. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees(F) . heat oil in a grill pan and sear meat on all sides. Once browned, move to oven and let cook for 15-20 minutes more in a casserole dish or roasting pan with marinade, basting with marinade every 5 minutes or so. Also, this can be done over a grill set up for indirect grilling. Sear over direct heat, then move to the cold side of the grill. Grill covered for 15-20 minutes. Take out of oven/grill and tent with foil until ready to carve and serve.
