Best Stuffed Mexican Flank Steak Recipes

STUFFED MEXICAN FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the crumbled corn bread in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• Place the flank steak on a flat surface. Hold a long, sharp carving knife parallel to the surface and cut the steak lengthwise in half to make two long rectangles of equal thickness. This may be done by the butcher. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper.
• Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a skillet and add half of the onions, half of the celery, half of the green peppers and half of the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is wilted. Let cool briefly. Add this to the corn bread. Add salt, pepper and the eggs.
• Remove and discard the stems of the jalapeno peppers. Chop the peppers and add them to the bowl. Add the parsley and blend well with the fingers.
• Spoon equal portions of the cornbread mixture onto each half of the meat. Carefully roll the meat jellyroll-style, starting at the narrower end of each portion of the meat. It will be almost impossible to enclose the filling without a portion of it falling out. This is a minor problem. Continue to roll and enclose each filling as neatly as possible. Tie the meat with string in several places to secure it.
• Heat the remaining three tablespoons of oil in a skillet and add the stuffed meat rolls. Brown the meat as neatly as possible on all sides, turning it carefully. Once more, a portion of the filling will fall into the skillet, which is to be expected.
• When the meat is browned, scatter the remaining onions, celery, green peppers and garlic around the rolls. Sprinkle the vegetables with the chili powder, cumin and oregano. Stir to blend and add the crushed tomatoes, broth, salt and pepper. Stir.
• Bring to the boil, cover and place in the oven. Bake about one hour. Transfer the meat to a serving dish and remove the strings. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and skim off the excess fat. Bring to the boil.
• Cut the meat into rounds and serve hot with the sauce. Serve with Mexican table sauce on the side, if desired.

MEXICAN STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Place broth, 1/4 cup of the dressing, the ancho peppers and oregano in blender; cover. Blend on medium speed 1 min. Pour into large resealable plastic bag. Add steak; seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat steak with the broth mixture. Refrigerate overnight to marinate, turning occasionally.
• Mix potatoes, carrots, serrano chiles, bacon and 2 Tbsp. of the cilantro; set aside. Remove steak from marinade; reserve marinade in bag. Place steak on clean work surface. Spread evenly with potato mixture to within 1/2 inch of edges. Roll up tightly, starting at one of the short ends. Tie securely with kitchen string at 2-inch intervals; set aside.
• Heat remaining 1/4 cup dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add steak; cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally. Add reserved marinade; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer 1 hour 45 min. or until steak is medium doneness (160°F). Transfer steak to cutting board; let stand 10 min. Remove string; cut steak into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place on serving platter. Spoon broth mixture over steak slices; sprinkle with the remaining 2 Tbsp. cilantro.
