Steps
- 1Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F. Prepare the flank steak by butterflying it: carefully slice through the steak almost halfway along the grain using a sharp, long knife, then open it up like a book.
- 2Begin by generously seasoning both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. Place the cut side facing up, with the wider side towards you. Sprinkle on oregano, cumin, and garlic evenly over the meat, followed by a layer of parsley. Arrange carrots, eggs, and onions in vertical rows on top of the meat; ensure there are two rows of each ingredient. Leave a couple of inches free at one end to facilitate rolling. Finish off by spreading an even layer of spinach over everything before proceeding further.
