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.

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.

STEAK, SPINACH & FETA PINWHEELS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Steak, Spinach & Feta Pinwheels Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by gMinor

Number Of Ingredients 18

MARINADE:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds flank steak, butterfly (or pound) to 1/2 inch thickness
FINAL PREPARATION:
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (seasoned is ok for some extra pop)

Steps:

  • Marinade: In a gallon or bigger zipper bag, combine the list of Marinade ingredients. Pierce the flank steak with a knife, making small slits about 1 inch apart. Place the steak into the bag, make sure everything is mixed and all the meat is covered, then seal. Put in the fridge overnight. Final Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the steak from the bag and place on a working surface so that it is wider than tall. Optional, keep the marinade to baste the final log. Sprinkle the steak with the salt, then spread each ingredient across the steak in a single layer: garlic, onion, feta, spinach and bread crumbs. Tightly roll the meat away from you into a log. If it's thin enough, it will form a jelly roll shape. Worst case (like I usually do), you end up with more a 'meat taco'. It still tastes great though. Anyways, once rolled, secure with tooth picks, or kitchen twine (recommended). Place log in a greased casserole dish, seam up (especially if it's a 'taco'). If you saved the marinade, pour some of it over the log for extra flavor. Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, or until it reaches 145°F. Let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

BEEF SKIRT STEAK PINWHEELS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Beef Skirt Steak Pinwheels Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Claude

Number Of Ingredients 9

FILLING:
1 (1 1/2-pound) skirt steak, trimmed of excess fat
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (or Parmesan & Romano) cheese, about 1 cup
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest, about 2 lemons
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
OPTIONAL:
Dry grill seasoning, like McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
Garlic power, or salt to taste.

Steps:

  • Prep the steak: If the steak is whole cut in to two even pieces. (about 8 inches long +-) Put one piece into a gallon size plastic bag and pound gently to make the meat about 1/4-1/3 inch thick. The results should be about 4 inches wide and 8 inches plus long) Repeat for the second piece. Season both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the two pieces of meat leaving about 1/2 inch border. Next sprinkle the lemon zest over the cheese and then the parsley over the cheese. (Add optional ingredients if desired). Press the cheese, zest and parsley topping to flatten it. Starting with the thinnest end, roll the steak up around the filling. Tie butcher twine around the middle to hold it. Tie 2 or 3 more times spacing the butcher twine to get 2 or 3 pinwheel steaks when cut. (The middle tie may be removed depending upon the size of your steak.) Cut the rolled up steak into 2 or 3 pinwheel pieces depending upon your choice. The finished product are tied pinwheel about 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide and 1-1/2 inches high (+-). Repeat the process for the other half of the steak. For one skirt steak you can get 4 to 6 pinwheels depending upon your size requirements. Cook: Cook the pinwheels on a grill with the pinwheel side down turning once. Cook about 5 minutes per side for medium well. Larger pieces may need to be cooked longer. Use a thermometer to check for doneness. Let meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: A flank steak or skirt steak is best for pinwheels because they are thin and can be easily rolled up. You can also use a top sirloin steak, but it will need to be pounded thin before rolling.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will help to make the pinwheels more tender. To do this, hold the steak with one hand and use a sharp knife to make thin slices perpendicular to the grain.
  • Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of fillings you like in your pinwheels, such as cheese, vegetables, or herbs. Some popular options include spinach, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese.
  • Roll the pinwheels tightly: This will help to keep them from falling apart when you cook them. To roll a pinwheel, place a filling in the center of a steak slice and then roll it up tightly. Secure the pinwheel with a toothpick.
  • Sear the pinwheels before baking: This will help to brown them and give them a crispy crust. To sear the pinwheels, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the pinwheels for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
  • Bake the pinwheels until cooked through: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the steak and the fillings you use. As a general rule, bake the pinwheels for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the pinwheels rest before slicing: This will help to keep the juices in the meat. To rest the pinwheels, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Conclusion:

Steak pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks because they can be made ahead of time and reheated. Pinwheels can be filled with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize them to your own taste. With their crispy crust and tender filling, steak pinwheels are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
