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.

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.

The secret to these pretty flank steak pinwheels lies in their butterfly treatment. Because the steaks are flattened, marinade isn't need. Instead, they're filled with a colorful stuffing of red pepper and spinach and draped with a flavorful, homemade blue cheese sauce. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Steps:
- Slice the flank steak diagonally cross-wise of the grain in strips the width of a slice of bacon. Roll each piece of beef into a pinwheel and wrap a slice of bacon around the outside, securing with one or two toothpicks. Place the beef rolls in a glass baking dish in a single layer. Mix together the Hellmans, soysauce and honey. Add crushed garlic. Pour over the meat and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours carefully turning the beef rolls so that both sides are in the marinade. Put on the grill and cook to your choice of doneness, making sure the bacon is well cooked. This recipe can be adjusted for any number to be served.
Tips:
- Use thinly sliced flank steak for easy rolling and even cooking.
- Pound the flank steak gently with a meat mallet to tenderize it and make it more pliable.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard or your favorite savory spread on the steak to add flavor and help the pinwheels hold together.
- Layer the fillings evenly over the steak, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Roll the steak tightly, starting from one long edge and working your way to the other.
- Secure the pinwheels with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep them from unrolling during cooking.
- Sear the pinwheels in a hot skillet to brown the outside and seal in the juices.
