Butterfly the steak by cutting in half starting and short end. You cut through the center and fold meat out like a book. Keep cutting until you are about a 1/2 inch from edge. Fold the meat out and pound to an even thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Trim to make a rectangle.

Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper on both sides. Mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and plum sauce together. Brush on the inside of the meat. Spread the mushroom mixture leaving 1/2 inch border all around.

With the short end facing roll the meat up into a cylinder. Tie the steak every inch and a half with kitchen twine.

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high. Brown the meat on all sides.

Remove to the oven and cook until it is the way you like it about 20 to 30 minutes for medium rare.

Remove from pan to rack and cover for 5 minutes covered with aluminum foil. Slice and remove strings.

Notes: If you can't find flat steak you can use skirt steak or top sirloin steak instead.
