Steak Pinwheels With Sun Dried Tomato Stuffing And Rosemary Mashed Potatoes Recipes

PINWHEEL STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Toast pine nuts in a small pan over medium heat until golden. Place spinach, arugula, garlic, cheese, 2 pinches salt, a few grinds black pepper, nutmeg, and toasted nuts in a food processor. Pulse grind the filling into a paste. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove 1/2 cup of filling paste to a bowl and stir in extra-virgin olive oil to loosen it. Reserve remaining filling in processor bowl.
• Place steaks between layers of waxed paper several inches apart. Pound steaks with a heavy bottomed pan to 1/2 their thickness. Season each steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Cover each steak with a thin layer of filling and top with roasted red peppers. Roll steaks tightly and cut each steak in 1/2 across. Secure pinwheels with a carefully placed skewer and set 6 pinwheels on a baking sheet. Drizzle with extra-virgin oil and roast 12 to 15 minutes. Remove skewers and transfer pinwheels to dinner plates. Top each with a generous portion of reserved sauce made from filling and extra-virgin olive oil, combined.

STEAK PINWHEELS W/ SUN-DRIED TOMATO STUFFING

Steps:

• Marinade steak in Dale's sauce for approximately 30 minutes. (This is a salty sauce so isn't necessary to salt and pepper steak.).
• Put broth, sun-dried tomatoes and butter into sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. (let tomatoes plump if necessary for 15 minutes or so, til tender). Bring back to boil and stir in stuffing (I use Pepperidge Farms Corn Bread stuffing). Cover saucepan and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff stuffing w/fork. Let stuffing cool completely.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Lay steak flat. Cover evenly with stuffing. Roll up steak lengthwise to create a pinwheel effect, enclose stuffing completely. Skewer seam w/toothpicks. Place steak roll seam side down, on foil covered cookie sheet. Sprinkle w/salt and pepper if necessary (Marinade may be salty and spicy enough) Roast until steak is golden brown and cooked through, about 40 minutes.

ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put the potatoes, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme and some salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl and toss until the potatoes are well coated.
• Spread the potatoes on the hot baking sheet (they should sizzle when they hit the pan) and roast until the potatoes are browned and fork-tender, about 40 minutes. Serve warm.
