Ingredients

  • 1 oz dried morel mushrooms
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup quinoa tri color or plain
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1 large shallot minced
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach leaves stems removed
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves only
  • 2 lbs beef flank steak trimmed of excess fat

Pan Jus:

  • 1 cup bourbon substitute chicken stock or water
  • 1 ½ cups morel steeping liquid from above
  • 6-8 small morels fresh or dried that are rehydrated

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, add the dried morels and cover with boiling water. Place a plate over the bowl to cover. Allow to steep for 30 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan add the quinoa and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes or until quinoa is cooked and water has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • In a large oven-proof skillet, add the olive oil and swirl the pan to coat. Add the shallot and saute over medium-high heat until is just beginning to get soft, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, 2/3 of the cooked morels (reserve the liquid) and rosemary and saute until the spinach just wilts, about 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and add to a large bowl. Toss in the cooked quinoa and set aside.
  • Lay the flank steak on a large cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet and pound the flank steak to flatten to a 1/2 inch thickness. Flip the steak over and cover with the wrap again and continue to pound a few more times. Spread a layer of the quinoa mixture over the flattened beef and roll up like a jelly roll. Use kitchen twine to secure.
  • Heat the large skillet again with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add the beef and sear on all sides. Move the skillet to the hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and allow to rest, covered in foil, on a cutting board.
  • Place the skillet back over a high heat and add the bourbon and morel cooking liquid. Use a wooden scraper to dislodge all of the bits on the pan and boil for 5-7 minutes to reduce the liquid by half. Add in the remaining 1/3 baby morels and remove from heat.
  • Slice the beef and place on a serving platter. Pour the pan jus over the top and serve.
