Things I Eat: Steak Spirals

Steak. Flank steak. Maybe like. . .$5 for some cheap meat.

Time to turn it into something delicious.

What You Need

• Flank steak: You can get one large piece or anything that is broad.
• Basil: I used one package
• Sun-dried tomatoes: I used on package.
• Bacon (I used uncured applewood smoked bacon): I used two strips

You will also need butcher's twine. Or. . .kitchen twine. Whatever.

What You Do
Assemble your stuff! I totally over-bought. I only needed one package of the steak (the other was actually too narrow to use for this) and I only used one package of sun-dried tomatoes and one pack of basil.

Then get our your steak and divide your sun-dried tomatoes between them. Or. .all over it. I had these four strips of steak.

Then add your basil. I cut them into sloppy ribbons. You can use a whole leaf.

BACON! - I had thick cut bacon, I used two strips. I cut each strip in half.

Let's get all tied up. . .

I thought it would do a really bad job with it. I did a pretty good job. I rolled them up pretty well and tied each roll in two places to keep 'em pretty secure. I ate anything that fell out.

I gently seared the meat. The steak was very thin, so. . .didn't take long.

Then I popped them in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes. Again, if your meat is thicker, it might take longer. I also made fries. And asparagus.

Let's see how I did. I cut off the string and slices this stuff with a very, very sharp knife. Because most of my knives actually are dull - FANTASTIC!

I ate two, the hubs ate two - it was delcious!

This was actually a really cheap and quick meal with a nice flavor mix and presentation.
