Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional herbs and spices
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Take the flank steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature, then trim any excess fat.
- Marinate the Steak: Whisk together olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Rub the marinade evenly on both sides of the steak and let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
- Prep the Filling: Wash and chop the spinach, then mix it with the cheese in a bowl to combine.
- Roll It Up: Spread the filling over the steak, then roll tightly and secure with twine or toothpicks.
- Preheat the Grill: Light the grill and preheat to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Pinwheels: Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, using a meat thermometer for desired doneness.
- Rest and Slice: Let the pinwheels rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 1 to 1½-inch rounds.
Notes
Serve with a vibrant salad or grilled vegetables. Consider pairing with a dipping sauce for added flavor.
