Ingredients

1 beef flank steak (1-1/2 pounds)
1/3 cup garlic-herb spreadable cheese
2 tablespoons prepared pesto
3/4 pound whole fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced, divided
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 jar (7 ounces) roasted sweet red peppers, drained and julienned
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 shallot, sliced
2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

Split steak horizontally from a long side to within 1/2 in. of opposite side. Turn steak so that a long side is facing you; open steak so it lies flat.

Layer with pesto, 1-3/4 cups mushrooms, spinach, red peppers, pepper and salt. Roll up jelly-roll style, rolling steak away from you; tie with kitchen string at 1-1/2-in. intervals. Rub with 1 tablespoon oil., In a large ovenproof skillet, brown steak on all sides. Bake in the skillet at 375° for 40-50 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Remove from the pan; cover and keep warm., In the same skillet, saute shallot and remaining mushrooms in remaining oil until tender. Add broth and sherry to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Add cream and bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Serve with sliced beef.
