This was my stepfather’s recipe, and everyone loved it. Making it is easy, and the longer the shrimp sit, the tastier it is! The shrimp can be prepared up to a day ahead of time, chilled, and then reheated just before serving. Great gumbo may be made with the leftover liquid, which can be frozen.

Ingredients
- 1 flank steak
- butcher’s twine
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 bunch baby spinach
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup chopped kalamata olives
- 2 strips cooked crispy bacon (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a charcoal griller (such as Big Green Egg®) to 375 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
- Lay flank steak on a flat work surface. Cut steak from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
- Arrange butcher’s twine on a plate, enough to cover the length of the steak. Place each string about 1 inch apart. Place steak on top; season with salt and pepper. Lay down a thick bed of spinach on top. Scatter feta cheese, olives, and bacon over the spinach.
- Roll steak up starting from the edge closest to you, pressing filling down to tighten the roll. Tie with butcher’s twine.
- Cook over direct heat, turning at least once, until steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Reviews
Tasty and pretty easy. I did not have bacon. But was still very good. I did add a little Greek seasoning along with the salt & pepper.
I broiled mine and used toothpicks to hold close.
This turned out very good
This was EXCELLENT as written!
