This is a delicious recipe using inexpensive skirt steak. Saltimbocca literally translates to 'jump in the mouth' and the bold flavors in this recipe will do just that. Ingredients:
2 pounds beef skirt steak, trimmed of fat |
freshly ground black pepper to taste |
6 ounces sliced aged provolone cheese |
2 bunches fresh sage leaves |
12 slices prosciutto |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cut the steak into approximately 4 ounce pieces, then pound each one to 1/4 inch thickness. Season with black pepper. On each piece of steak, lay one slice of provolone cheese, a few leaves of sage and 2 slices of prosciutto. Roll into pinwheels and secure with toothpicks.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown the pinwheels on the outside. Transfer to a baking dish if your skillet is not oven-safe.
4. Bake for 7 minutes for medium rare, or 10 for medium. Let rest for 5 minutes before carving into thin pinwheels. Place the skillet back over medium-high heat, and add any remaining sage leaves. Fry until crispy and then use them to garnish steaks.
