Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the thinly sliced flank steak on a cutting board. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the steak to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth and flavorful filling.
Lay the spinach leaves evenly across the surface of the steak, creating a layer of greens.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the spinach layer using a spatula, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage.
Starting at one end of the steak, carefully roll it up tightly to form a pinwheel shape. Secure the roll with kitchen twine or toothpicks to hold it together during cooking.
Brush the outside of the roll with olive oil to promote browning.
Place the rolled steak seam-side down in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
Remove the beef pinwheel from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels and serve warm. Enjoy!
