This was something I just made up and I’m really happy with it.  This recipe will probably evolve over time. The basic idea is that you’re going to beat the shit out of a flank steak until it’s nice and thin, then roll up a cheese and vegetable stuffing inside of that.  There are some… Continue reading Italian Stuffed Steak
