Ingredients
- 2 pound flank steak
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)
- ¼ cup parsley (chopped)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 hard boiled eggs (quartered)
- ½ medium green bell pepper (sliced)
- ½ medium red bell pepper (sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare grill:
- Prepare your grill for cooking over medium direct heat.
- Butterfly the flank steak:
- Using a sharp knife slice it and open it up like a book (see instructions above for how to butterfly a flank steak). If you want to make the meat thinner, you can pound it with a mallet to flatten it out and even out the thickness
- Make chimichurri:
- In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, cilantro, parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes.
- Spread sauce over steak:
- Spread the cilantro and parsley mixture over the flank steak, and brush it evenly over the entire surface of the steak. Arrange the quartered eggs in 3 rows across the flank steak at different intervals. Repeat with the sliced peppers.
- Assemble matambre:
- Carefully roll the meat up over the filling, I did it from left to right, across the grain, jelly roll style. Tie with butcher's twine to hold it together. Season the outside of the roll generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill:
- The temperature on your grill should read around 400°F. Place the roll on the grill and grill on both sides for about 4 or 5 minutes per side, about 20 minutes in total.
- Rest:
- Let the roll rest for 15 minutes before slicing into it.
