Matambre Arrollado
Flank steak rolled around hard-boiled eggs, vegetables, and herbs, poached or grilled and served cold in slices.
Why It Works
Butterflying and pounding the flank steak creates a thin sheet that rolls tightly around the colorful filling; poaching gently sets the roll before chilling firms it for clean slicing.
