Ingredients
  

1 (2 to 3 pound) flank steak

1 cup cooked quinoa

1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Olive oil, for drizzling

Toothpicks or kitchen twine for tying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Flank Steak: Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board. If it is thick, carefully slice it horizontally to create an even surface for stuffing. Use a meat mallet to pound it gently to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

    Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until well combined, then fold in the fresh cilantro.

      Stuff the Steak: Spread the quinoa filling evenly over the surface of the flank steak, leaving about an inch of space along the edges. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling.

        Roll the Steak: Starting at one end of the flank steak, carefully roll it tightly into a log shape. Secure the roll using toothpicks or tie it tightly with kitchen twine to hold it in place.

          Sear the Steak: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle it with olive oil. Once hot, add the stuffed flank steak and sear it on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

            Bake: Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

              Rest and Slice: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the stuffed flank steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it tender.

                Serve: Cut into thick slices and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with additional cilantro and serve with your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad.
