How to make Rolled Flank Steak

Prepare the meat

  1. Step 1

    Trim excess fat from the flank steak, leaving a thin layer to prevent it from drying out during cooking.

  2. Step 2

    Lay the flank steak flat and trim one corner to form a triangle. Place it on a sheet of plastic wrap.

Season and fill the steak

  1. Step 1

    Sprinkle the steak with grated Parmesan cheese, crushed chili flakes, salt, and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Near the edge where you’ll begin rolling, place the hard-boiled eggs with the ends trimmed. Continue layering upward with strips of bell pepper, followed by the carrot batons, and finally the chopped green onion.

Roll and cook the steak

  1. Step 1

    Roll the steak tightly, using the plastic wrap to help shape it into a log. Tie the ends securely with cotton string to hold the roll together.

  2. Step 2

    Place the rolled steak in a pot and cover it with vegetable broth. Once the broth begins to boil, continue cooking for 40 minutes.

Press and serve

  1. Step 1

    Remove the steak from the pot and transfer it to a dish. Place a heavy object on top to press the roll and help it hold its shape.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the rolled flank steak into ½ cm (¼ inch) thick slices and serve with your choice of side dish.
