Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 12 pieces Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the flank steak on a cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap. Pound the steak with a meat mallet until it is about 1/4-inch thick and evenly flattened.
Season both sides of the steak with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the surface of the seasoned steak, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the steak into a log shape. Secure the roll by either tying it with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals or inserting toothpicks to hold it together.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak roll for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 135°F (medium-rare) or 145°F (medium), depending on your preference.
Remove the steak pinwheel from the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the steak into pinwheels, cutting carefully between the toothpicks or twine. Remove any twine or toothpicks before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish alongside roasted vegetables or a crisp salad. Enjoy!
