# What You'll Need:

02 - 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ For the Pan

09 - 1 flank steak (2 lb), pounded to 1/3 to 1/2 inch thickness
10 - 1 lb fresh asparagus, woody ends trimmed
11 - 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

→ For the Filling

12 - 3 garlic cloves, grated
13 - 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
14 - 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced
15 - 1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
16 - 1 cup fresh spinach
17 - 1 egg yolk
18 - 2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
19 - 4 to 6 oz fresh mozzarella, shredded

# How to Make It:

01 - Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before preparing. Pound it between two sheets of parchment paper to desired thickness.
02 - Preheat the oven to 220°C. Combine the dry mix ingredients and rub the mixture onto both sides of the steak. Place three pieces of kitchen string under the steak.
03 - Mix all filling ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
04 - Spread the filling onto the steak, leaving a 2.5 cm margin on all sides. Roll the steak tightly with the grain, securing the ends and middle with the kitchen string.
05 - Heat a 15-inch cast iron skillet brushed with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the rolled steak in the skillet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
06 - While the steak cooks, toss the asparagus with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
07 - Remove the skillet from the oven, add the asparagus, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and switch the oven to broil mode. Return the skillet to the oven for 10 minutes.
08 - Check doneness with a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, the temperature should read 54°C. Cover the steak with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with asparagus and pan juices.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Letting the steak rest allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender slices.
