Spiral Rolled Fillet with Pesto
Recipe courtesy Michael Chiarello

Ingredients
2 pounds center cut fillet of beef, spiral cut
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup store bought pesto
Extra-virgin olive oil
8 long wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for at least 30 minutes


Directions
With the heel of your hand or a meat mallet, pound the meat and flatten
to a thickness of about 1/2-inch. Sprinkle the inside of the meat with salt and pepper. Spread the
pesto over the meat, leaving a 1-inch border on 1 long side. Roll the meat towards the border.

With your knife, mark the fillet at 1-inch intervals. Run skewers through your fillet in between
your knife marks so that each portion has a skewer securing it. Using your knife marks as a guide,
cut your fillet into slices. Drizzle with the oil.
