Best Beef Roulade Recipe
Beef roulade, or stuffed flank steak, is a comforting and savory steak recipe I love to make for my family. One of the best parts about this recipe is the harissa sauce. It acts as both a marinade and a sauce, and pairs so well with the flavor of the beef! Flank steak (also called skirt steak) is the perfect cut of beef to marinate, stuff, and roll. The marinating process makes this cut perfectly tender, while the spices, herbs, and seasonings give it an aromatic quality unlike any other. This stuffed flank steak recipe is a favorite of my family’s, and everyone I’ve shared it with asks for the recipe. I guarantee you are going to love serving this dish at your next gathering, or as an elegant steak dinner for your family!

Best Way to Cook a Flank Steak
Once rested, the meat will reach medium-rare (~135°F). If you want your beef cooked to a different degree of doneness, follow my Steak Temperature Chart and be sure to use a meat thermometer. Keep in mind flank steak becomes tough if cooked too much.
Beef Roulade Recipe Tips
For perfectly tender flank steak, allow it marinate for a minimum of 4 hours. Marinating overnight will give you the most tender, flavorful results.When rolling the beef, make sure to give yourself enough room at the end (about an inch) to finish rolling. If there is too much stuffing along the edge, it will fall away from the seal. Cut your butcher’s twine before you tie your flank steak. Always cut more than you think you will need; it is easier to cut off the excess later than to stumble with the entire roll or to cut too little. Always use a meat thermometer to check the degree of doneness of your steak. Flank steak gets tough if it is overcooked. I always recommend medium-rare, which reads at 130˚F.When slicing your flank steak, be sure to always cut against the grain using a sharp knife!
How to Store Beef Roulade
Stuffed flank steak is best stored in an airtight or sealed container and can last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. As a general note, it is not recommended to marinate the flank steak in the harissa sauce for more than 2 days.
Can I freeze cooked steak?
I love making stuffed flank steak and then freezing it so I have an easy steak dinner ready in no time at all! Here are my simple instructions for freezing:
How to Reheat Beef Roulade
Because the flank steak has been cooked on the grill (and it has sealed in all of the wonderful char-grilled flavor) I find it best to reheat the stuffed flank steak in the oven. It doesn’t matter if I am reheating the stuffed flank steak from frozen or from the fridge, I use the same method. Just be sure if you are reheating from the freezer to allow the flank steak to thaw in the fridge overnight.
Is beef roulade gluten-free?
As it is written, my stuffed flank steak is a naturally gluten and grain-free recipe. As always, be sure to check each ingredient for specific food allergy and handling instructions.
What to Serve with Flank Steak
When I serve stuffed flank steak, I love to line it up on a big white platter. The colors of the steak, herbs, and spices speak for themselves- it’s a show stopping dish! Throw in a few fancy serving spoons and everyone will be helping themselves in no time. There is always the question of what to serve with stuffed flank steak, and for me, I like to stick to the classics. Here are a few:
