Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil, for the steak
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1/4-1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4-1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 1/2 cups small croutons
3 -4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1 lb flank steaks
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F; heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the oil and shallots and cook until soften, add the garlic and thyme. Continue cooking until the shallots are lightly browned.
Transfer to a medium-size bowl and let cool slightly.
Mix in the croutons, cheese and bread crumbs.
Pound the steak to a even thickness. A larger surface area is perfect so as to hold the stuffing.
Put the steak on a work surface and mound the blue cheese stuffing lengthwise down the center.
Roll the steak and tie off with string securely in several places. Salt and pepper the meat.
Heat an over-proof skillet with a thin layer of oil and sear the steak on all sides.
Put the skillet in the oven for ten minutes. Turn steak over and leave in for another ten minutes.
Take steak out and cover with loose foil for 5-10 minutes and then begin carving. Enjoy.
