Preparation
Marinate steak 2 hours to 2 days ahead. Two days is ideal.
Marinade: Mix all of the ingredients thoroughly and place in a re-sealable plastic bag with the steak, turning every 12 hours.
When marination is complete, remove steak from marinade, put on cutting board and throw out marinade. Slice steak 1/8 of an inch thick across the grain. Turn each slice on it’s side and place between plastic wrap and pound thin. It should be about 2 inches wide when finished. Cut each piece in half, so each slice is about 4" - 5" long and 2 inches wide.
Prep Squash, and grill along with the steak:
Slice squash in thin strips about 1/8 of an inch thick and 3" long. Salt strips and place in a colander about 30 minutes. Then drain, rinse off salt and pat dry with paper towels. Grill the squash and the steak about 3 - 5 minutes, until squash is done and steak is medium rare. Remove and assemble.
To Assemble: Place one steak strip on wax paper and top with 1 Zucchini slice. Top this with 1/2 teaspoon of whipped cream and 4 to 5 chives. Start at the end of the steak and roll, secure the roll with a wooden toothpick. Serve with Blitz & Tackle sauce.
