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

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.

Yield One flank steak should serve four.

Number Of Ingredients 6

A flank steak
Thick-sliced bacon
3 to 5 cloves garlic crushed
1/3 cup Hellman's
1/3 cup Honey
1/3 cup Soy Sauce

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:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is at least 1 pound and has a uniform thickness. This will ensure that the steak cooks evenly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will help to make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep the inside moist.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Flank steak is a relatively thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make the steak tough and chewy.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Flank steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Flank steak pinwheels are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and impressive meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give flank steak pinwheels a try. You won't be disappointed!
