Flank Steak And Pepper Pinwheels Recipes

RACHAEL RAY'S FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS

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.

LEMON PEPPER FLANK PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Pound each flank steak to a 10X8 inch rectangle.
• Cut each rectangle into four 10X2 strips.
• In bowl, combine burgundy, cooking oil, soy sauce, lemon pepper, Worcestershire and pepper sauce.
• Place meat strips in plastic bag; set in a deep bowl.
• Pour wine mixture over meat: close bag.
• Marinate 4-6 hours or overnight in refrigerator, turning twice. (I usually leave steaks whole and don't put in tomatoes or mushrooms, although it is excellent with them . Just a family preference).
• Drain meat; reserve marinade.
• Loosely roll each strip around a cherry tomato or mushroom cap, starting with short side.
• Skewer securely with wooden picks.
• Grill pinwheels over medium coals for 15 minutes.
• Turn meat; grill about 10 minutes more for rare.
• Baste with marinade often.
• Remove picks.

FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, mix marinade ingredients together thoroughly.
• I have also used bottled steak marinade if necessary.
• Flatten the flank steak on a cutting board and pound flat with a meat mallet or the bottom of a glass.
• Add meat to marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove steak from marinade and spread garlic butter (if using) over the flat side of the steak. Layer chopped onion, bread crumbs, red peppers, spinach leaves, and cheese.
• Roll the steak up like a jelly roll and tie with string or close with toothpicks.
• Place the roll in a greased baking dish.
• Bake uncovered for 1/2 hour rare, 45 minutes for medium, and 1 hour for well done. Let stand 10 minutes, then slice into 1 inch slices to serve.
• I have also used garlic herb cream cheese in place of the shredded cheese and butter.
