FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS



Flank Steak Pinwheels image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large flank steak, butterflied along the grain
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces Asiago, shredded
8 ounces curly loose spinach leaves, washed, patted dry, stems removed
6 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled
4 scallions, left whole
8 to 10 wooden skewers, soaked in water

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.

Time 9h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup red wine
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ pounds flank steak, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1 clove garlic, peeled
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
½ cup crumbled feta cheese

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use thinly sliced flank steak. You can slice it yourself or ask your butcher to do it for you.
  • Pounding the flank steak helps to tenderize it and make it more receptive to the marinade. Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy skillet to pound the steak until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
  • The marinade for the flank steak is simple but flavorful. It consists of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and black pepper. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to suit your taste.
  • Be sure to marinate the flank steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the steak and flavor it.
  • When assembling the pinwheels, be sure to overlap the edges of the steak slices slightly. This will help to keep the pinwheels from falling apart during cooking.
  • Cook the pinwheels over medium-high heat until they are browned on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes per side.
  • Once the pinwheels are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the steak.

Conclusion:

Spinach Flank Steak Pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time. The combination of flank steak, spinach, and cheese is a classic, and the pinwheels are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
