Spinach Steak Pinwheels Recipes

FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a large resealable bag, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper. Squeeze the bag to blend well. Pierce the flank steak with a knife, making small slits about 1 inch apart. Place the steak into the bag, and seal. Refrigerate overnight to marinate.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Crush the remaining clove of garlic on a cutting board with a large chef's knife. Sprinkle the salt over the garlic, and scrape with the flat side of the knife to make a paste.
• Remove the steak from the bag, and discard marinade. Spread the garlic paste over the top side of the steak. Place layers of chopped onion, bread crumbs, spinach, and cheese over the garlic. Roll the steak up lengthwise, and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks. Place the roll in a shallow glass baking dish.
• Bake uncovered for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the internal temperature of the roll is at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees F) in the center. Let stand for 5 minutes to set, then slice into 1 inch slices to serve.

RACHAEL RAY'S FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat grill or grill pan to high.
• To butterfly the flank steak, start with the meat grain running up and down in front of you. With your knife, begin cutting the meat in half. (Essentially, you want a thinner, larger flank steak).
• Continue cutting the flank steak in half until you reach about 1 inch from completely cutting through.
• Lay the cut flank steak open and even out the middle so there is not a thicker piece in the center. Or just ask the butcher!
• Spread the flank steak out so that the grain is running left to right.
• Begin layering the flank steak with salt and pepper, the Asiago, then the spinach, the Gorgonzola and scallions.
• Begin rolling the flank steak tightly and away from you.
• Evenly insert the skewers 1 to 2 inches along the seam of the pinwheel to hold it together on the grill.
• Cut in between each skewer but not against the skewer; you want the same amount of meat on either side of each skewer.
• Grill the pinwheels on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until your desired doneness.

STEAK & SPINACH PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Score steak by making shallow cuts at 1 inch intervals diagonally across the steak in a diamond pattern. Repeat on the other side. With a meat mallet, pound the steak into a 12x8 rectangle, working from the center to the edges. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange bacon lengthwise on the steak.
• Spread spinach over bacon. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Roll up from short side. Secure with wooden toothpicks at 1 inch intervals, starting 1/2 inch from the end. Cut between the picks into slices.
• Place cut side down on an unheated broiler rack of a broiler pan. Broil for 6 minutes on each side. Remove picks and serve.
• These are great to freeze before cooking and keep on hand.
