 This was an experiment i tried yesterday. I cooked a flank steak low and slow. I wrapped the whole thing up in bacon to keep it moist. This was previously believed to be a hot direct griiling meat...not anymore.

 For this recipe I used a 1.5 lbs flank steak with some fat content.

I layed plastric wrap and pounded flat with a smoth meat mallet.

From there I added a layer of proscuitto, spinach, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, than last sliced mozzerella.
I rolled up like a jelly roll and wrapped the whole thing with bacon and securing with toothpicks.

 I put in the pit using oak keeping temps at 225. I let it stay in the pit till the bacon looked ready. About five hours total cook time.
I served it up with garlic bread, ceasar salad, and tortellini with a homemade sun dried tomato pesto.

 The meat came out very moist and tender. I was pleased beyond my expectations.

Wow, that looks tasty.  Wish I was there to sample it with you.  I will certainly have to try that.  How tender was the meat?  It looks pretty tender and juicy still.

If God wanted us to be Vegetarians, why did he make animals out of meat??

 I tell ya Mike. a coffin of pork fat was the right call.  I was worried about this type of cut turning to jerky going lo and slo. Every single bite was tender and juicy. Going to do this again soon, but going to a differnet region. Also wanting to do a stuffed meat loaf here soon with hard boiled eggs and a mild shredded cheese.

 At safeway. I dont freak out at everything thing that hits the news. Think it was 1 death and 19 sick from the E. Coli, out of how many million that ate spinach that same week.

 Carne asada is on the planning board. I will be making rolled carne asada, stuffed with tomatos, chiles, lime, cilantro, and cojita cheese.
