Description

These 6 Ingredient Flank Steak Pinwheels are stuffed with fresh spinach, Parmesan cheese, and zesty lemon for a flavorful and elegant main dish. Easy to make yet impressive, the steak is rolled, seared, and baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tsp dried parsley (or fresh, if preferred)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups spinach, torn
  • 1.5 lb flank steak
  • 1 tbsp butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese
  • Zest from one lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare steak: Lay flank steak flat on a cutting board. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley.
  3. Prepare filling: In a bowl, mix spinach, Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest. Spread mixture evenly over the steak.
  4. Roll steak: Carefully roll steak from one end to the other, securing with kitchen twine if needed. Slice into pinwheels about 1–1.5 inches thick.
  5. Sear steak: Heat butter or oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pinwheels on all sides until browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  6. Bake: Transfer skillet to oven and bake 10–15 minutes, or until desired doneness.
  7. Serve: Remove twine, arrange pinwheels on a platter, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh parsley for a brighter flavor.
  • Ensure steak is sliced evenly to roll easily.
  • Pinwheels can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge before cooking.
