The creamy, colorful goat cheese filling for this rolled flank steak recipe takes the flavor to the next level and makes for a presentation that wows. Pounding the steak is crucial for easy rolling and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Serve with a simple salad or roasted vegetables to complete this easy dinner recipe.

Ingredients

1 pound flank steak, trimmed
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon salt plus 1/4 teaspoon, divided
3 tablespoons herbed goat cheese
½ cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers
1 cup arugula
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
2 teaspoons grapeseed or canola oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place steak on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle one side with garlic powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Spread cheese in a 1-inch-wide strip down the middle of the steak. Top with peppers and arugula. Starting at one edge of a long side, roll the steak up tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Tie with kitchen string at 2-inch intervals. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook, turning often, until browned on all sides, 3 to 6 minutes total. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 120 degrees F for medium-rare, 12 to 15 minutes.
Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into 8 slices.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
