- Lay the butterflied roast open on a large piece of parchment paper.
- Layer provolone, prosciutto, 16 oz jar of roasted red peppers (drained),and 4 cups baby spinach on top of the butterflied roast.
- Begin rolling from the end that is parallel to the fold in the roast. Roll tightly as you work with all the filling to keep it in tack. Or you can simply fold it over like your closing a book.
- Tie the roast with kitchen twine.
- Place the roast cut side down on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cook in a 325°F oven for about 45 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 140° in the thickest part of the meat.

- While resting, make sauce by adding gravy to roasting pan, deglazing the pan and allowing the sauce to gain the flavors of the roast.
- Slice and serve warm topping with pan sauce.
