Rolled Steak Florentine

I am making this tonight and it has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. It is pretty easy and has really nice presentation (and looks like it was hard to make) when served over rice. My boys love it too...and a great way for them to eat spinach!


1 1/2 lb flank steak (sometimes I use sirloin tip steak if I can't find flank)
garlic salt
pepper
12 oz cream cheese, softened
10 pkg chopped spinach, thawed and drained well
Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 can beef broth
2 T flour
kitchen string

Pound steak and sprinkle lightly with salt. Combine cream cheese, spinach, pepper, Worcestershire and onion. Spread over steak and roll up. Tie kitchen string around steak to make it stay together while cooking. Pour broth over steak. Bake 1 hour at 350, uncovered. Transfer meat to a platter and keep warm. Combine flour and 1 cup water and stir into broth. Cook until thickened. Serve meat sliced into 1/2" slices over rice (white or wild) and top with gravy.

Kristen, this sounds yummy and I may try it. But I am one of those that needs specific directions. My judgement is rarely correct on "to taste" measurements. :) So can you approximate how much Worcestershire you put in? Thanks!

This was delicious. Had way too much cream cheese mixture left so I will use the small size next time.
