The flavors of tender flank steak paired with a sweet and tangy balsamic glaze, combined with a colorful medley of roasted vegetables, make this a well-rounded, nutritious, and mouth-watering meal.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steak:
- Lay the flank steak on a cutting board. If it's thick, you may butterfly it so it's thin and even.
- Rub both sides of the steak with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- Season with a dash of salt, black pepper, and sprinkle with rosemary. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the red pepper, green pepper, zucchini, onion, and mushrooms.
- Drizzle with 1 tsp of olive oil and add the minced garlic.
- Toss to coat the vegetables evenly with the oil and garlic.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Roast the Vegetables:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and set aside.
4. Roll the Steak:
- Lay the seasoned flank steak flat and place a portion of the roasted vegetables on one end.
- Roll the steak tightly around the vegetables, securing with toothpicks or kitchen twine if necessary.
5. Cook the Steak Rolls:
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the steak rolls seam-side down in the skillet.
- Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until you have a nice brown crust.
6. Make the Balsamic Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, red wine, brown sugar, and beef broth.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
7. Glaze the Steak Rolls:
- Brush the balsamic glaze over the steak rolls, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
8. Serve:
- Remove the steak rolls from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Slice the steak rolls into pinwheels if desired and serve with the remaining roasted vegetables.
- Drizzle any remaining balsamic glaze over the steak rolls and vegetables.
Tips:
- Ensure the flank steak is thinly sliced to allow for easy rolling and quick cooking.
- Marinate the steak in the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and rosemary mixture for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
- Cook the vegetables until tender but not mushy to maintain a good texture.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Prepare the balsamic glaze by simmering the vinegar, red wine, brown sugar, and beef broth until thickened.
- Allow the steak rolls to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices and make slicing easier.
Enjoy these succulent balsamic-glazed steak rolls with your guests and family. The combination of juicy steak, sweet and savory roasted vegetables, and the rich glaze will surely become a household favorite. Pair this dish with a nice glass of red wine to elevate the dining experience even further.
