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.

The secret to these pretty flank steak pinwheels lies in their butterfly treatment. Because the steaks are flattened, marinade isn't need. Instead, they're filled with a colorful stuffing of red pepper and spinach and draped with a flavorful, homemade blue cheese sauce. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick and has a nice even marbling. This will ensure that the steak cooks evenly and stays tender.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but some popular options include olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak is best cooked over high heat so that it sears quickly and remains tender. You can cook it on a grill, in a skillet, or even in the oven.
- Slice the steak against the grain: When you slice the steak, be sure to slice it against the grain. This will help to make it more tender and easier to chew.
- Serve the steak immediately: Flank steak is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is still tender and juicy. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Pinwheel flank steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover flank steak, and they can be customized to your liking with a variety of fillings and sauces.
