  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning until well blended.
  2. Pound the flank steak to 1/2-inch thickness, score lightly, marinate in resealable bag for at least 8 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Remove steak from marinade, pat dry, allowing for better browning.
  5. Mash garlic with a pinch of salt to form a paste, spread on one side of the steak.
  6. Layer chopped onion, breadcrumbs, spinach, Swiss cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes over the garlic paste.
  7. Roll the steak tightly and secure with twine or toothpicks.
  8. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish and bake for about 1 hour or until temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1-inch thick pieces.
