How to Make Bacon Stuffed Flank Steak

  1. Prepare the flank steak: Lay the flank steak flat and gently pound it to an even thickness of about ½ inch using a meat mallet.
  2. Prepare the bacon stuffing: Cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and crumble. Set aside.
  3. Season the steak: Season both sides of the flank steak generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Stuff the steak: Spread the crumbled bacon evenly over the surface of the flank steak. Roll the steak tightly and secure with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals.
  5. Sear the steak: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed flank steak on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  6. Grill the steak: Reduce heat to medium and continue grilling for 15-20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130-135°F for medium-rare. (Adjust cooking time based on your desired level of doneness.)
  7. Rest the steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  8. Slice and serve: Remove the kitchen twine and slice the steak into ½-inch thick pieces. Serve immediately with grilled potatoes and a tossed salad.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
