STUFFED FLANK STEAK 
4 sweet Italian sausages
1 sm. onion, minced
1/4 c. green olives, chopped
1 tbsp. chili powder
1/4 c. minced parsley
1 egg, beaten
1/2 c. bread crumbs
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 flank steak (2 1/2 lbs. or less)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp. salt
Flour
3 tbsp. oil
1/2 c. beef broth
1 c. tomato sauce (canned)
1/2 c. dry red wine
1 sm. bay leaf

Remove the sausage meat from casings; break up the meat and mix with onion, olives, chili powder, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, salt to taste and oregano. Flatten the flank steak with a mallet. Combine garlic and 1 teaspoon salt and rub both sides of the steak with this mixture.

Spread the sausage mixture on one side of the steak. Roll it up and fasten it with string or skewers. Dredge with flour and saute in oil in a heavy saucepan until browned on all sides. Pour off the oil, mix all other ingredients and add to pan. Cover and cook in a 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours or until meat is soft. Serves 4.
