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.

Balsamic-glazed steak rolls with roasted vegetables FAQ:
What is the recommended cooking time for the steak rolls to reach medium doneness?
For medium doneness, sear the steak rolls for about 2-3 minutes on each side, then cover and cook on low heat for an additional 5-7 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Can I use a different cut of steak instead of flank steak?
Yes, you can substitute flank steak with other cuts like sirloin or skirt steak. Just ensure the cut is thin enough to roll and can take a similar cooking time.
How should I store leftovers of the steak rolls?
Store any leftover steak rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
What vegetables can I use as substitutes in this recipe?
You can substitute the vegetables with others such as asparagus, eggplant, or cherry tomatoes based on your preference. Just ensure they will roast well and complement the steak.
How do I know when the roasted vegetables are done?
The roasted vegetables are done when they are tender and slightly caramelized, which typically takes 20-25 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Stir halfway through for even cooking.
Cooking 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.
