My daughter and her family, who live in Hong Kong, love to make my flank steak becuase it reminds them of home. —Ethel Klyasheff, Granite City, Illinois

Ingredients

1 beef flank steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, optional
MUSHROOM FILLING:
1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups beef broth

Directions

Cut steak horizontally from a long side to within 1/2 in. of opposite side. Open steak so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, mustard, pepper and, if desired, lemon zest. Pour half of marinade into a large shallow dish; add beef and turn to coat; cover and refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
In a large skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in butter until tender. Remove from the heat; stir in parsley. Drain and discard marinade. Open steak; spoon filling over steak to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up tightly jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie with kitchen string. Place in a greased shallow roasting pan. Pour reserved marinade over steak.
Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Uncover; baste with pan drippings. Bake 30 minutes longer or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°, medium, 140°, medium-well, 145°). Remove and keep warm. Meanwhile, transfer cooking juices to a saucepan; skim fat. Bring cooking juices to a boil. Mix cornstarch and broth until smooth. Stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Cut steak into slices; serve with sauce.
