Ingredients
  • 1 steak (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
  • 1 package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned dry bread crumbs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Lay steak on work surface. Holding sharp knife parallel to work surface and starting at a long side, slice flank steak in half to opposite long side, without cutting all the way through; open up the steak like a book. Flatten slightly to an even thickness.

3. Squeeze liquid from spinach; discard liquid. In medium-size bowl, combine spinach, cheese, peppers, bread crumbs, egg yolk, 1/4 teaspoon each of the garlic salt and the pepper.

4. Season steak with an additional 1/4 teaspoon each of the garlic salt and pepper. Press filling onto steak, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Roll up steak to enclose filling, beginning on a short side; the grain of the meat will be running from left to right. Tuck any loose filling back into ends.

5. Tie steak with cotton twine at 2-inch intervals to secure. Rub outside with oil, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each garlic salt and pepper.


6. Roast at 425 degrees F for 35 minutes, then increase heat to broil and broil for 10 minutes, turning once. Let meat rest 15 minutes. Remove twine, slice and serve.

Serves: 10
Ingredients:
·         1 cup mayonnaise
·         ⅓ cup sour cream
·         1 large clove garlic, pressed
·         2 tablespoons lemon juice
·         2 anchovies, finely minced
·         1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
·         1 pound penne pasta, cooked until al dente and rinsed with cool water
·         6 large leaves Romaine lettuce, thinly sliced
·         1½ cups grape tomatoes
·         4 green onions. green parts sliced
·         ½ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
·         ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
·         2 grilled chicken breasts, diced
·         1½ cups croutons

Instructions:
1.    In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise through the Worcestershire sauce.
2.    Toss half of the dressing with the pasta and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3.    Mix in remaining ingredients including the remaining dressing and serve.

*I like to mix half of the dressing with the pasta and chill it and then mix in the remaining dressing just before serving, but you can do it all at once.
Be sure to salt your cooking water for the pasta well, at least 1 tablespoon of salt.
Anchovies can be omitted. You might want to double the Worcestershire sauce if you do.
Enjoy it!
