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.

Steps:
- Stir together the mayonnaise and paprika in a small bowl until smooth. Sprinkle the flank steak with salt and pepper, then evenly spread the paprika mayonnaise on top of the meat. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, then pulse in a spice grinder until finely ground and return to the bowl. Toast the cashews and pistachios in the same skillet, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the nuts to the bowl with the toasted ground spices; add the red pepper flakes and toss to combine. Toast the sesame seeds in the same skillet until fragrant and browned, about 3 minutes. Add to the spiced nuts.
- Position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler to high.
- Set a broiler pan or a heavy baking sheet under the heating element and preheat for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the hot pan and spray with cooking spray or brush lightly with oil and quickly put the meat on the pan. Broil until a thermometer inserted sideways into the thickest part of the meat reads 130 to 135 degrees F and the paprika-mayonnaise coating is deep brown and bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the broiler and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the meat thinly against the grain. Stir the mint into the spiced nuts and scatter some nut mixture on top of the steak. Put the rest of the spiced nut mixture in a bowl to serve on the side for sprinkling. Garnish the steak with additional mint leaves if using.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack 5 -to -6 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with foil, and set the broiler insert on top of the broiler pan if using. Put the pan on the oven rack, and preheat until hot, about 5 minutes.
- Stir together 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of the steak. Put the steak on the preheated pan and broil (without flipping) until nicely browned and firm, with some give when pressed in the thickest part, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes.
- While the steak cooks and rests preheat a wok over high heat for 10 minutes. Have 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl next to the wok. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the wok, and just as it starts to smoke, add the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring constantly, for a few seconds until they start to brown, and then immediately add the water. Add the watercress and cook, tossing just until it starts to wilt, about 1 minute. Add the oyster sauce and toss to coat. Remove from the heat and toss for another 30 seconds or so, until the watercress is completely wilted (the stems should be bright green and the leaves darker but not black).
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain and serve with the watercress and rice if using.

PEPPERED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH WATERCRESS
Back in 2004, William Grimes, a former Times restaurant critic, realized that his role had changed him. No longer could he be satisfied with quotidian meals. He wanted a way to one-star dining in his home every night, and in 30 minutes or less. On his quest, he found this recipe, adapted from Food and Wine's "Fast: Over 150 Quick, Delicious Recipes in 30 Minutes or Less." The steaks are quickly seared, red wine reduced, and watercress tossed in butter until wilted. In 15 minutes, a restaurant-worthy dinner is served.

PAN-SEARED RIB EYE STEAK WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB
I picked up a kosher ribeye steak at Trader Joe's last week and pan-seared it using the technique that's become my hands-down favorite: Alton Brown's pan searing method. It turned out so perfectly-- tender and pink on the inside with a brown, spice-laden crust on the outside. The simple smoked paprika spice rub gave it a sweet, barbecued flavor. This is such an easy way to cook up a smoky, juicy ribeye steak without firing up the grill.

- Put a 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet in the oven, and heat oven to 500 degrees. When the oven thermometer indicates that it has reached 500 degrees, remove the pan from the oven (do not turn oven off). Transfer quickly to a stovetop burner on high heat.

Quickly remove the pan from the heat and place into the oven. Cook for two minutes on each side for a medium rare steak, or three minutes on each side for a medium steak.

Tips:
- Choose a flank steak with good marbling. This will help ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the steak for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. This will help the steak absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
- Cook the steak over high heat until it reaches your desired doneness. A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the steak is cooked to your liking.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.
Conclusion:
Paprika flank steak with watercress is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The steak is marinated in a flavorful blend of paprika, garlic, and olive oil, then cooked over high heat until tender. The watercress salad is a refreshing and light accompaniment to the steak.
