Greek Flank Steak

Ingredients

• 1 flank steak
• butcher's twine
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 bunch baby spinach
• 0.25 cups crumbled feta cheese
• 0.25 cups chopped kalamata olives
• 2 stripss cooked crispy bacon , Optional

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat a charcoal griller (such as Big Green Egg®) to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.

2. 2

   Lay flank steak on a flat work surface. Cut steak from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.

3. 3

   Arrange butcher's twine on a plate, enough to cover the length of the steak. Place each string about 1 inch apart. Place steak on top; season with salt and pepper. Lay down a thick bed of spinach on top. Scatter feta cheese, olives, and bacon over the spinach.

4. 4

   Roll steak up starting from the edge closest to you, pressing filling down to tighten the roll. Tie with butcher's twine.

5. 5

   Cook over direct heat, turning at least once, until steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
