Balsamic Glazed Steak Roll-Ups

Prep: 15 minutes mins
Cook: 20 minutes mins
Total: 35 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
Rate Pin Print
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 1 medium bell pepper, sliced, (150 grams)
  • 1 large carrot, julienned, (75 grams)
  • 1 medium zucchini, julienned, (150 grams)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, (2 oz)
  • 1/2 tbsp honey, (0.25 oz)
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, (0.25 oz)
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil, (0.25 oz)
  • 1 tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning

Instructions

  • Add balsamic vinegar, honey, and lemon juice to a small pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.  Continue to boil for 10-12 minutes or until reduced by about half.
  • Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.  Add 1/2 tsp of olive oil, if desired.  Add vegetables and sauté until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.  Set aside.
  • Cut flank steak against the grain into approximately 3″ wide strips.  If each strip is more than about 1/4″ thick, use the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to flatten them out. Season with Montreal Steak Seasoning on both sides.  Add vegetables across the center of the steak strips, then roll the strips and secure with a toothpick.
  • Sear roll-ups in pan for about 3-5 minutes per side (seam side first), then place in 350 degree oven to finish cooking for 7-10 minutes.  Adjust based on thickness of steak and desired temperature.
  • Before serving, spoon balsamic reduction over steak roll ups.

    I just found your website, and it looks so super helpful! I should double these recipes if I want to meal prep for two people, correct?

      Hi Catherine! Yes, you can just double the recipes to prep for two people. If you click on the number of servings in each recipe card, a little slider will pop up that you can adjust – it will automatically re-calculate the ingredients for the desired number of servings 🙂

    I really want to try the thai peanut chicken but I do not have an instant pot….what’s the best way to cook this without it?

      Hi Suzy! I haven’t tried this recipe in a slow cooker yet, but it should work there. Pour the sauce (minus the peanut butter and PB2) over the chicken in the slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hrs (or high for 3-4 hrs) or until chicken shreds easily with a fork. Remove the chicken and set aside. Pour the sauce into a bowl and mix in peanut butter and PB2. Add shredded chicken to sauce and mix. Then you’ll have to sauté the veggies on the stovetop and add the chicken/sauce mix back in. Hope this helps!
