NomNom is all I can say about these Bacon Pesto Roulades! Make it even more fun with a touch of mozzarella cheese. It's not necessary, though--these don't need anything else to make them delicious! #SoNomNom4u #BaconPestoRoulades

Take a large flank steak out of the package and place it on a large, clean surface. Cover it with parchent or plastic wrap and beat it with a flate kitchen mallet. Beat it until it is only about 1/8" thick.
Cut the flank steak down the middle lengthwise (against the grain.
Now, based on the size of your flank steak, cut it across 2-3 times so you have equal portions that are no shorter than 4" long. (See image below)
