Ingredients | ||
| 1/4 cup | sun dried tomatoes | |
| 1 pound | beef flank steak or top round steak - trimmed of separable fat | |
| 3 T | light herbed cheese spread | |
| 1/8 teaspoon | salt | |
| 1/8 teaspoon | pepper | |
| 1 cup | chopped spinach | |
| 2 tablespoons | grated Parmesan cheese | |
| 2 tablespoons | snipped fresh basil | |
1. Finely shred spinach and fresh basil
2. Score meat by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals in a diamond pattern on both sides.
3. Place meat between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Working from center to edges, pound with flat side of a meat mallet into 12x8-inch rectangle. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle meat with the salt and pepper.
4. Spread the cheese lengthwise in a 3-inch wide strip down the middle of the steak.
5. Then spread spinach over the steak. Sprinkle with the tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and basil.
6. Roll the steak up from a short side. Secure with wooden toothpicks at 1-inch intervals, starting 1/2 inch from one end.
7. Cut between the toothpicks into eight 1-inch-thick slices.
The pinwheels are ready for either the broiler or BBQ.
BROILER: Place slices, cut sides down, on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat to desired doneness, turning once. [Allow or 12 to 16 minutes for medium (160 degrees F).]
BBQ: Grill over high heat to desired doneness turning once. It is helpful to put two pinwheels on a skewer when barbecuing. This will help them hold together when you turn.
Before serving, remove toothpicks because a party is no time for a toothpick accident, Right?

Thanks for the recipe. As someone who is not a creative cook, I can't wait to try this out on the grill.
ReplyDeletesaved to my recipe box...
ReplyDeleteI just recently started grilling myself, that has always the hubbys thing but I think he might have lost that job too. (he is a military man so I have alot of hats to wear at home but only recently did I try the grilling chef hat..and I love it!) Our whole family is having a Fourth of July family vacation in Gatlinburg TN this year. Each of the family units picks a night to make dinner and I am gonna have to make this for everyone. Probably wont be on a grill due to the resort we will be at but I will make it at home for our next cookout for sure!
Thank you for sharing this!
