FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, mix marinade ingredients together thoroughly.
• I have also used bottled steak marinade if necessary.
• Flatten the flank steak on a cutting board and pound flat with a meat mallet or the bottom of a glass.
• Add meat to marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove steak from marinade and spread garlic butter (if using) over the flat side of the steak. Layer chopped onion, bread crumbs, red peppers, spinach leaves, and cheese.
• Roll the steak up like a jelly roll and tie with string or close with toothpicks.
• Place the roll in a greased baking dish.
• Bake uncovered for 1/2 hour rare, 45 minutes for medium, and 1 hour for well done. Let stand 10 minutes, then slice into 1 inch slices to serve.
• I have also used garlic herb cream cheese in place of the shredded cheese and butter.

RACHAEL RAY'S FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat grill or grill pan to high.
• To butterfly the flank steak, start with the meat grain running up and down in front of you. With your knife, begin cutting the meat in half. (Essentially, you want a thinner, larger flank steak).
• Continue cutting the flank steak in half until you reach about 1 inch from completely cutting through.
• Lay the cut flank steak open and even out the middle so there is not a thicker piece in the center. Or just ask the butcher!
• Spread the flank steak out so that the grain is running left to right.
• Begin layering the flank steak with salt and pepper, the Asiago, then the spinach, the Gorgonzola and scallions.
• Begin rolling the flank steak tightly and away from you.
• Evenly insert the skewers 1 to 2 inches along the seam of the pinwheel to hold it together on the grill.
• Cut in between each skewer but not against the skewer; you want the same amount of meat on either side of each skewer.
• Grill the pinwheels on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until your desired doneness.

FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In a large resealable bag, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper. Squeeze the bag to blend well. Pierce the flank steak with a knife, making small slits about 1 inch apart. Place the steak into the bag, and seal. Refrigerate overnight to marinate.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Crush the remaining clove of garlic on a cutting board with a large chef's knife. Sprinkle the salt over the garlic, and scrape with the flat side of the knife to make a paste.
• Remove the steak from the bag, and discard marinade. Spread the garlic paste over the top side of the steak. Place layers of chopped onion, bread crumbs, spinach, and cheese over the garlic. Roll the steak up lengthwise, and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks. Place the roll in a shallow glass baking dish.
• Bake uncovered for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the internal temperature of the roll is at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees F) in the center. Let stand for 5 minutes to set, then slice into 1 inch slices to serve.

FLANK STEAK AND PEPPER PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Put the flank steak in a glass baking dish and pierce all over with a fork. Pour the pickling liquid over it; turn over several times to coat, and let stand, turning frequently, for 15 minutes. Preheat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Drain excess liquid from the steak, season well with salt and pepper, and grill, turning once, until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand at least 10 minutes before cutting against the grain into thin slices.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the farmers cheese and chopped cherry peppers. Season with salt and pepper; to taste and add a few drops of water to make the cheese moist and spreadable. Lay a lavash sheet lengthwise on a work surface and spread 1/4 of the cheese mixture over it, leaving a 1-inch border. Evenly scatter 1/2 cup arugula leaves, followed by 1/4 of the sliced steak over the cheese. Fold the ends in toward the center, then, roll the lavash tightly from the bottom into a roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Wrap the rolls tightly in a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, slice the roll-ups into 1-inch segments and arrange them on a serving platter.
• Note: Regular burrito-sized tortillas or flavored wraps can be used in place of lavash.
