Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean beef flank steak
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Low-fat feta cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the flank steak on a clean surface. Carefully use a meat mallet to pound the steak evenly until it is about 0.5 inches thick.
Season the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Sauté the spinach for about 2 minutes until wilted. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the garlic and diced red bell pepper for about 3 minutes until soft.
Layer the cooked spinach evenly over the steak, followed by the sautéed garlic and bell pepper.
Sprinkle the low-fat feta cheese over the top, ensuring an even distribution.
Roll the steak tightly from one short end to the other to form a log. Secure with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals.
Place the rolled steak on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the outside with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with fresh basil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare doneness (cook longer if desired).
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Serve the pinwheels warm as a delicious main course or appetizer.
