How to Make Rolled Flank Steak

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) with a rack in the center.
  2. Place the flank steak between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or heavy skillet, pound the steak to 1/2 inch thickness.
  3. Using a sharp knife, score the steak on one side in a cross-hatched pattern, about 1/4 inch deep.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  5. Place the steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's coated evenly. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  6. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
  7. Lay the steak on a cutting board, scored side down, with a short end facing the edge of the work surface.
  8. Spread 4 ounces of your favorite sliced cheese (such as provolone or mozzarella) evenly over the steak, leaving a 1/2 inch border at the far short end.
  9. Top the cheese with 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions and 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color or combination).
  10. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  11. Starting from the closest side, tightly roll the steak into a cylinder.
  12. Using kitchen twine, tie the steak crosswise at 1-inch intervals to secure the roll.
  13. Season the outside of the rolled steak generously with salt and pepper.
  14. Place the rolled steak, seam side down, in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet.
  15. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare, and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
  16. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before removing the twine and slicing.
