Ingredients
  

For the Pinwheels
  • 1 pound Flank Steak Can be replaced with skirt steak
  • 4 slices Provolone Cheese Mozzarella or Swiss cheese can be used
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Kale or arugula can be used

  • Meat Mallet
  • Knife
  • wooden skewers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Flank Steak: Gently butterfly the flank steak by making a horizontal cut across the grain, leaving an inch uncut. Flatten the steak with a meat mallet to about half an inch thickness.
  2. Season and Layer: Season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and black pepper. Layer with provolone cheese and distribute fresh spinach evenly over the cheese.
  3. Roll and Secure the Steak: Roll the flank steak lengthwise into a tight cylinder and use skewers to secure it. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle additional salt and pepper.
  4. Slice and Prep for Grilling: Slice the rolled steak into pinwheels. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400°F).
  5. Grill to Perfection: Grill pinwheels for about 4 minutes per side, aiming for a medium-rare finish at an internal temperature of 125°F.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve the pinwheels arranged on a platter.
