1

Get all your ingredients organized: grate the cheese, chop the garlic, and add it to the eggs.

2

Combine the eggs and cheese in a bowl.

3

Prepare the vegetables: trim and chop the parsnip and leek, and soak the red onions in a little vinegar.

4

Butterfly the flank steak, trimming and evening out thick parts.

5

Pound the steak to make it uniform in thickness.

6

Layer the filling ingredients on the steak: start with the egg and cheese mixture, leaving about an inch from the edge.

7

Add spinach, roasted red peppers, and onions soaked in red wine vinegar.

8

Layer in the leek, parsnips, green olives, and sliced green beans.

9

Roll the steak tightly, starting from one end, and tie it with butcher's twine, making sure it's snug.

10

Heat olive oil in a Le Creuset pan until hot, then sear the rolled steak on all sides until browned.

11

Add liquids for braising: red wine, water (enough to come halfway up the roll), salt, pepper, bay leaves, thyme, garlic, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.

12

Bring the braising liquid to a boil, then lower the heat and cover the pan.

13

Cook the steak slowly for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
