We like them warmer. . .your choice.NOTES about butterflied flank steak and roasted peppers
You can ask your butcher to butterfly the flank steak or you can do it yourself. Lay the flank steak flat, using a long knife to slice the steak into two thin halves by keeping the knife parallel to the cutting board (depending on your pan/dish, you can leave it in one big flat piece or slice completely through it and have two pieces (two are easier to work with into two small rolls). .. it is also easier to slice through if you put the steak flat in the freezer for about a half an hour so that it is a little 'stiff'. . .If you haven't peeled peppers before, you cut them into flat slices, put them skin side up in the broiler until they are black and burning on top. . .then pull them off and immediately put them into a large zip-lock baggie for at least 15 minutes. .. pull them out and the skins will peal right off leaving you with lovely soft pepper pieces. ..
