I have some rolled steak that I have no idea how to cook. I put one in the crock pot, after snipping off the string, thinking it would be like a roast. It came undone and I ended up shredding it for BBQ. It was good, but there's got to be something else I can do with this type of cut... TIA

Janet, I've looked for recipes for you, but I've never heard of "rolled steak". I can't find a recipe using it anywhere. I have seen steak florentine made at a grocery store, where they basically roll steak around fresh spinach. Is it like a flank steak? Can it be cooked like a pot roast?

Could you unroll it and stuff it like this recipe?

Chipotle Peppper Stuffed Flank Steak

3-6 chipotle chillies
1 small sweet onion, chopped
6 sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1 cup grated fontina cheese
1/3 cup bread crumbs

2 lb flank steak

Saute the onion in olive oil until translucent. Add the tomato, chilli, and thyme and saute a couple minutes more. Mix the cheese and bread crumbs with the sauted mixture.

Lay the steak flat and place the stuffing in a line down the long axis of the steak. Roll the steak around the stuffing (it should look like a large sausage), and tie every two inches with butchers twine.

Brown the rolled steak in a frying pan with olive oil for just a few minutes, then bake at 450 for 25 minutes. Scrape any residue from the baking dish into the frying pan and deglase with white wine.

Slice the roll into two inch medallions and top with the strained wine sauce.

OMG that sounds sooooo good, not that my kids would eat it, sigh....

I don't really know what it is either...it just came that way from the butcher (my dh put in the order, and we have all kinds of strange cuts, LOL)
I don't see why I can't try these and see what happens.Thanks
