In a medium bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. This blend gives the steak a rich, tangy flavor. Add your thinly sliced flank steak, making sure each piece gets coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This waiting time lets the steak soak up all the tasty goodness. While the steak marinates, let’s prepare the filling. In a different bowl, combine fresh spinach leaves, red bell pepper strips, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss them gently so everything mixes well. This filling adds a fresh crunch and creamy texture to each bite. Set it aside while you finish marinating the steak. Once the steak is ready, heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any extra drip off. Keep the leftover marinade for later. Lay the steak slices flat on a clean surface. Take about one tablespoon of your filling and place it at one end of each slice. Roll the steak around the filling tightly, but not too tight. Secure each roll with a toothpick or some kitchen twine, so the filling stays inside while cooking. Now it’s time to cook! Place the secured steak rolls on your preheated grill. Grill them for about 4-5 minutes on each side. You want the steak to be juicy and just right. In the last few minutes, brush the reserved marinade over the rolls. This step adds flavor and gives your rolls a nice shine. After cooking, carefully take the steak rolls off the grill. Let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes. Resting helps the juices settle back into the meat. Once rested, remove the toothpicks or twine. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on a serving platter and, if you like, drizzle with any extra balsamic glaze. You now have a beautiful dish ready to impress! For the full recipe, check out the complete instructions. Marinating the steak is key for flavor. Use a bowl to mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Make sure to coat each piece of steak well.

If you have more time, let it marinate longer for even better results. Grilling the rolls right makes a big difference. Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. This ensures the steak cooks evenly. Place the rolls on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Check for doneness by slicing one open. Medium-rare is often best as it keeps the meat tender and juicy.

Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried

1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Toothpicks or kitchen twine for securing

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Add the thinly sliced flank steak to the bowl, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

    Prepare the Filling: While the steak is marinating, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the fresh spinach leaves, sliced red bell pepper, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss the mixture gently until evenly combined and set aside.

      Assemble the Rolls: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for optimal cooking. Once the steak has marinated, remove it from the marinade, letting any excess drip off (reserve the leftover marinade for later use). Lay the steak slices flat on a clean surface. Take approximately one tablespoon of the filling mixture and place it at one end of each slice.

        Roll and Secure: Carefully roll each slice of steak around the filling, starting from the end where you've placed the filling. Roll tightly but gently to prevent the filling from spilling out. Once rolled, secure each roll with a toothpick or wrap it with kitchen twine to keep the filling intact during cooking.

          Cook the Rolls: Place the secured steak rolls on the preheated grill or grill pan. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is ideal). In the last couple of minutes of cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the rolls to enhance the flavor and add a glossy finish.

            Rest and Serve: After cooking, carefully remove the steak rolls from the grill and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes. This resting time allows the juices to redistribute for a tender bite. Once rested, carefully take out the toothpicks or twine.

              Slice and Enjoy: Using a sharp knife, slice the steak rolls into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them beautifully on a serving platter. For a finishing touch, drizzle with any remaining balsamic glaze if desired.
