Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, diced red bell pepper, diced green bell pepper, grated carrot, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a vibrant filling.
- Place the flank steak on a cutting board and pound it with a meat mallet to flatten it and tenderize it, ensuring an even thickness throughout.
- Spread the filling evenly over the flattened flank steak, leaving a border around the edges for easy rolling.
- Layer the sliced hard-boiled eggs on top of the filling for added flavor and texture.
- Starting from one of the long sides, carefully roll up the flank steak tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Secure the rolled flank steak with kitchen twine or toothpicks to hold it together during cooking.
- Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
- Grill or roast the rolled flank steak for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the rolled flank steak from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the rolled flank steak into thick slices and serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Tips
- Feel free to customize the filling by adding other ingredients like spinach or olives for additional flavor.
- Matambre Tiernizado pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or chimichurri sauce for an authentic Argentine experience.
