I love to look for an ingredient or two on Google or my foodie Pinterest boards and come up with dinner. I had some flank steak burning a hole in my freezer and an itch to grill. I searched flank steak and grill on my Pinterest boards and brought up a fancy concoction from a blog I need to visit more often, the Food in my Beard. I like food and I love a beard!
I am pretty self aware and I know I am not good at thin slicing, rolling, or complicated looking recipes, so I decided to modify it and stuff it the old fashioned way. It was a good plan. This does get a little messy on the grill if you over-stuff it so be gentle. The stuffing would be real nice with any protein and any green in it. Try this and be amazed!

| A butterflied vessel full of possibilities! |
 |
| Thin sliced pineapple, I mean it, do it thin! |
 |
| I will have this anytime, in any way. So delicious! |
 |
| Assembly line time! |

| Ready for action |

| Ok, now we are really ready for duty! |

| Pin it, grill it and love it. |
1 pound Flank Steak
2 cups Cheddar Cheese
2 tablespoons Cream Cheese
2 Jalapenos diced and most of the seeds removed
2 handfuls Arugula chopped small
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 a pineapple cut into thin planks
Butterfly the flank steak and open it up like a book leaving a hinge along the grain on one side. Season it will salt and pepper. Mix the cheeses with the jalapeno and arugula and garlic until combined. Spread the cheeses on the laid out flank steak. Spread it thin so it doesn't escape too much! There will be extra, use it for something else (I bet it is good as a warm dip!) Top with a layer of the thin pineapple. Fold the side over the other and secure it with toothpicks or wrap it all with kitchen twine. Grill on high heat for about 8 minutes per side to brown and cook to a medium doneness. You can also do this in a cast iron skillet on the stove!
Happy Cooking!
