What is matambre?

Matambre is an Argentinian beef dish that is made by rolling eggs and some vegetables with savory ingredients such as sausage and spices in a flattened flank steak. The steak usually is slow cooked, either in a broth or over a low-fire grill, until the meat is just tender and the vegetables have softened. There are many matambre variations, many of which correspond to different regions and culinary traditions of Argentina and neighboring Uruguay. The dish also can be adapted for virtually any ingredients that a cook has on hand.

The Flank Steak

It is a long, flat cut that runs from the rib end of the animal to the hip or rump. The grain of flank steak is very long and makes it a bit tougher than some other cuts, but marinating and slow cooking can tenderize it. Flank steak is high in protein and low in fat.
