Slow-Roasted Flank Steak Roulade

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Place garlic cloves in a small saucepan, cover with water and simmer until garlic is softened, about 20 minutes. Drain, let cool, and combine softened garlic, croutons, parsley, salt and olive oil in a small bowl or mortar. Crush ingredients to make a coarse paste. Spread paste evenly over top of steak. Roll steak with the grain--lengthwise--and tie approximately every 2 inches with kitchen string to hold shape of roll. (Steak will look similar to a jelly roll with the garlic and crouton mixture inside the roll.)

Melt butter in an ovenproof skillet or roasting pan large enough to accommodate the steak. Sear steak, browning on all sides. Transfer pan to the oven and roast for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 225°F and continue roasting for approximately 1 1/2 hours.

To serve, slice the flank steak across the grain in approximately two-inch rounds, remove strings, and drizzle lightly with olive oil if desired. Garnish each round with parsley.
