Lay steak on a work surface between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound until an even 1/4 in. thick. Peel off top plastic wrap, spread tapenade mixture all over steak, and roll up so grain of the meat runs lengthwise. Tie at 2-in. intervals with kitchen twine.

Transfer steak to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine and cut crosswise into thin (1/4 in.) slices.
