Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (well drained)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- Kosher salt
- One 2-pound flank steak
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa power
- 1 tablespoon ground dark-roast coffee
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 ciabatta rolls
Instructions
- This recipe originally appeared on Giada Entertains. Episode: Valentine’s Day Cookout.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the mascarpone, horseradish, ketchup and 1/2 teaspoon salt with a rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Allow the flank steak to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high.
- Meanwhile, mix together the cocoa powder, coffee, cumin and paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle the steak on both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and rub with the cocoa mixture, followed by the olive oil (to help the spices stick).
- Grill the steak for about 8 minutes per side, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F in the thickest part. Remove from the grill and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the ciabatta rolls through the equator and grill, cut-side down, until golden brown and nicely marked, about 1 minute. Spread the rolls with the mascarpone mixture.
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain and pile onto the rolls. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve.

Hey Giada, I will definitely make this recipe! I love flank steak! Just to let you know when I was reading I came across a misspelled word. In the instructions, cocoa powder needs to be fixed. It says "cocoa power " instead of cocoa powder. Thank you for the recipe! I can’t wait to make it!! :)
