Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef flank steak
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup roasted red bell peppers
- 2 units cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 12 units toothpicks or kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the beef flank steak flat on a cutting board. If needed, use a meat tenderizer to gently pound it to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick.
Season the beef evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly across one side of the beef.
On top of the mustard, arrange the spinach leaves in a single layer, followed by the roasted red bell peppers, minced garlic, and fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar evenly over the fillings.
Starting from one end, carefully roll the beef into a tight cylinder, ensuring the fillings remain inside.
Secure the roll with toothpicks or tie it at intervals with kitchen twine to keep it intact during cooking.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the beef roll and sear on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the beef to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Carefully remove the toothpicks or kitchen twine and slice the beef roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Serve the pinwheels warm, either as an appetizer or along with a side for a main course.
