Stuffed Flank Steak Recipe with Prosciutto and Mushrooms
Stuffed Flank Steak Recipe – Nothing says “Be Mine” like Stuffed Flank Steak with Prosciutto and Wild Mushrooms.
Cooked Flank Steak
Stuffed Flank Steak was one of the first “fancy meals” I made when learning how to cook. It was also the first meal I ever made requiring kitchen twine.
I had all the ingredients ready for a recipe I found in an old cookbook, and was about to get started when I looked over the page and realized I needed kitchen twine. This was before the internet (can you even imagine?) so I was unable to Google kitchen twine. Instead, I went out to the garage and started rummaging around.
A few minutes later I returned with a large green roll of nylon garden twine. Surely this would work, right?
I prepped and rolled the flank steak as directed, and was about to put it in the pan when it dawned on me that nylon was PLASTIC and would melt all over my meat.
After a second trip to the garage, I emerged with long strands of all-natural raffia. Using the ribbons of raffia, I tied up my flank steak, again, and continued with the recipe. The raffia did the trick, be it singed a bit, but during my next trip to the market I made sure to buy a big roll of kitchen twine.
Stuffed Flank Steak with Prosciutto and Wild Mushrooms is a lovely dish to cook for your sweetie on Valentines Day. It’s visually pleasing, loaded with rich flavors, and is easy to pop in the oven while you work on your side dishes.
The provolone cheese, earthy sautéed mushrooms, salty bite of prosciutto, and peppery arugula are a winning combination. This pairs well with brussels sprouts and creamy risotto.

How To Make This Flank Steak Recipe
Here are the simple instructions to impress your significant other…
- Heat a large (12- to 13-inch) skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until soft—about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Lay the flank steak on a work surface and place a piece of plastic wrap over the top. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the steak (tenderizing) into a 9×12-inch rectangle—1/4-inch thick.
- Lay the cheese over the steak, leaving a 2- to 3-inch area uncovered along one long edge. Next, lay the mushrooms over the cheese, followed by the prosciutto and arugula leaves.
- Starting with the long edge covered with ingredients, carefully roll the flank steak. Tie the steak roll in 4 places with kitchen twine. Mix 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, paprika and flour and rub over the roll.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the steak roll in skillet and sear 5-8 minutes turning to brown on all sides.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the steak roll is cooked through and cheese is melted—30 minutes. Tent with aluminum foil and let the meat rest for 10 minutes, then carefully slice with a sharp knife, 1/2-inch pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will My Steak Last In The Fridge?
You can store this recipe in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.
How Do You Keep The Meat From Getting Chewy?
This steak cooks best at a high temperature for a short amounts of time. Make sure to only cook it to medium-rare and allow it to rest to keep as much of the juices in as possible.
Does This Cut of Meat Need a Marinade?
I did not marinate this cut of beef to make this recipe, but you can if you would like! This steak takes on the flavors of a marinade very well! Leaving it as-is offers a clean beefy flavor.
What Can I Use To Make A Marinade?
A flank steak marinade should start with a liquid base (like soy sauce). Then add in something acidic (like lemon juice), something sweet to help with browning (like brown sugar), and something spicy (if you’re feeling up to it).
Can I Freeze This Flank Steak?
Yes, you can. Make sure to cool the cooked meat down completely. Then slice the meat into individual pinwheels and wrap them up separately with plastic wrap. Then place them all in a freezer bag to store in the freezer. You can keep them there for up to 6 months. (Make sure to label the date on there so you know how long it has been in there!)
Can I Grill This Recipe?
Yes, you can! Make sure to warm up the grill and carefully brush the grates with oil. Then when you are ready to cook it, grill it on 3-4 sides for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Not gonna lie, I would keep these beauties for me and my hunny this Valentine’s Day! They’re too beautiful!
I would like to give these knives to my very best friend, Nicole. And not just because she and I are both sans partnership this (blasted) V day, but because she has been a ridiculously over the top, above and beyond good friend to me this year. She is in Boston and I am in NY and back in school, so I’m broke and in a new city and I go and visit her and she cooks me the BEST meals because she is a wizard in the kitchen and spoils me rotten. But that’s really just the brulee on the creme brulee of her good actions towards me this year. So yea, I’d give em to Nicole.
I think my own man (the meat eater of the house) would love these!
I would be delighted to present my Mom and Dad with this beautiful flat-ware set. They never treat themselves and are always thinking of others with love, year-round. I love your blog and think you are amazing!
