Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Steak
  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • For the Filling
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil

Method
 

  1. Lay flank steak flat on a cutting board and butterfly if needed for even thickness.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap and pound lightly with a meat mallet.
  3. Brush steak with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Spread spinach, cheese, roasted peppers, and herbs evenly over steak.
  5. Starting from one long side, tightly roll steak into a log.
  6. Secure with kitchen twine every 1–2 inches.
  7. Slice between twine to create pinwheel rounds.
  8. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  9. Grill pinwheels for 4–5 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Pound steak evenly for easier rolling and even cooking.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent ingredients from spilling out.
  • Use kitchen twine to help pinwheels hold shape while grilling.
  • Medium-rare to medium doneness keeps flank steak tender.
  • Leftovers work great in steak sandwich recipes or sliced into salads and bowls.
