Instructions

Prepare Steak - Butterfly flank steak by carefully slicing through steak longways leaving top-and bottom at the end connected like a book binding. Open the halves like a book creating one large thin slab.
Prepare Arrollado - Place the open meat with grain of the meat parallel to you. Season well with plenty of salt and pepper. Leave 2-inches of the edges free of filling. Brush chimichurri over the inside of the meat. Lay 3 equally spaced rows along the grain, each consisting of ⅓ of carrot sticks, pepper slices, and quartered eggs. Starting with the edge closest to you, roll the steak tightly over the filling rows. With the seam at the bottom, tie the roll in three places with kitchen twine.
Grill - Heat grill to medium-high with cover down. Place meat on oiled grates and cook about 5-6 minutes per side on all 4 sides of the rolled matambre.
Roast - Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Place rolled meat seam down in a foil lined baking tray. Bake for 1 hour.
Serve - When matumbre is done, remove from oven or grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove twine and cut into ½-inch slices. Serve either hot or warm with remaining chimichurri sauce.
