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.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the pinwheels will taste. Look for vibrant green spinach, firm feta cheese, and flaky phyllo dough.
  • Prepare the Spinach: Wash the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. You can use a salad spinner to dry the spinach or pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Crumble the Feta Cheese: Use your hands or a fork to crumble the feta cheese. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the pinwheels.
  • Use Room Temperature Phyllo Dough: The phyllo dough will be easier to work with if it is at room temperature. Take it out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you start making the pinwheels.
  • Work Quickly: Phyllo dough can dry out quickly, so work quickly to assemble the pinwheels. If you need to take a break, cover the phyllo dough with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The pinwheels are done baking when they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them so they don't overcook.

Conclusion:

Spinach and feta pinwheels are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect spinach and feta pinwheels every time.
