Equipment

  • 1 Butcher’s twine or skewers if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes
  • 1 Meat tenderizer

Ingredients

  • 2 flank or sirloin steaks about 2 lbs
  • 10-12 slices cheddar cheese
  • 8-10 slices prosciutto
  • 1 cup parsley
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

CHIMMICHURRI SAUCE

  • 1 ¼  cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
  • 1 yellow onion finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup parsley finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp red pepper
  • 2 TBSP red wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to high heat.
  • Lay the steak on a large cutting board and cover it with parchment paper. Using a meat tenderizer, pound it to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  • Brush the meat with grated garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange slices of cheddar cheese evenly over the steak, followed by a layer of prosciutto on top, and sprinkle chopped parsley.
  • Starting from the short side, roll the steak tightly into a log, keeping the filling tucked in.
  • Tie with butcher’s twine or secure with skewers. Cut in half.
  • Preheat your grill to high heat. Sear the roulades on all sides until a rich, golden-brown crust forms. Then reduce the heat to low—or move the roulades to the cooler side of the grill while keeping the opposite side hot. Continue grilling over indirect heat, turning occasionally, until they reach your desired doneness: about 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
  • Let the roulade rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy the gooey cheese, the crisp prosciutto edges, and the tender steak in every bite. Drizzle with chimichurri sauce if you want extra flavor.

CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

  • Mix all ingredients together and let sit for 5 minutes.

Notes

Steak Choice: Flank steak works best, but skirt steak is a good alternative—ensure it’s pounded evenly.
Secure Well: Use extra toothpicks or twine if the roll feels loose during searing to prevent unraveling.
Make Ahead: Assemble the roulade a few hours ahead, refrigerate, and sear/bake when ready.
