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

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

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.
