Preparation

  1. Combine mushrooms, onion, cheese and bacon in medium bowl; set aside.

Kitchen Tips

  • Test Kitchen Tips
  • For a larger flank steak, cut it in half horizontally. Pound the two halves, top evenly with mushroom mixture and roll up each to make two smaller, more manageable rolls.
