I loved the idea of this dish but had some lamb flank steaks and decided to use the inspiration to work with the lamb. I marinated the lamb in evoo, lemon, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper then used the spinach and substitued feta cheese.

Because the cuts of lamb are so small I actually make individual roll ups secured with skewers and cook directly on the grill. They have been a big hit with my family and make a great presentation for entertaining. The fun of watching others cook is to get new ideas and then make the most of what you have.

Thanks Rachel.

Family loved the beefy, cheesy taste. It is extremely fast and simple to prepare. This is great for us working folks. I will need to try the chicken soon.

I am not a gorgonzola fan so after reading the reviews I made my grocery list and chose my boyfriends favorite - goat cheese and then chose a shredded romano cheese. What a great combination! Then I marinated the flank steak with lime juice and worcestershire sauce and minced garlic. WOW! What a great aroma when I took it out of the fridge to put on the grill! The meat challenging to work with, but I had fun rolling it up and putting it together. The other tip I took was waiting to slice the steak until it had cooked on the grill for a few minutes. I made this recipe for some friends who have been eating out a lot due to a kitchen remodel and they were so impressed with the presentation and we all had fun watching me slice the pieces and seeing what each pinwheel looked like inside. The flavors were outstanding! The meat was so tender. This was definitely a weekend, outside grilling recipe and I will make it again and again. Thanks Rachel for offering your recipes. If the viewers with negative comments of this recipe can't use their imagination and the ideas of other viewers to turn a recipe into a family and friends favorite then they should hang their aprons up!

Looks great, easy to make, and my husband enjoyed it. I did not care for the strong cheese flavors of asiago and gorgonzola combined. Also, it was expensive. It is a fun idea though, and I will make again with my own ingredients!

Rachel mentioned using chicken...I couldn't find Flank Steak so I used chicken instead. I have to tell you my grandkids kept wanting more and more!!!! We didn't have any leftovers that night. I was amazed how much they loved it!!! I did find that leaving the breast rolled up instead of cutting pinwheels worked better at holding together tho. And I baked it in the oven instead of grilling it. And I sprinkled left over cheese on top of them. Yummmmmm I also couldn't find Gorgozola cheese but feta is in the same family so I used it instead.. And one other time I used blue cheese. Both were great! Thanks Rachel!!!!

Made this for Christmas dinner last week and it was amazing. Rolling the flank steak tightly and keeping it together is key. Try tying it with kitchen string, or using more than three skewers or toothpicks. I rolled it and kept it whole, baked it for about 30-45 min, then sliced the medallions and broiled them. I also added chopped garlic before topping with the rest of the ingredients. The asiago and gorgonzola cheeses are packed with their own definitive flavors, so if your tastebuds don't like more bold flavors... choose more mild cheeses. This flanksteak was gone before the fried turkey! Took longer than 30 min to cook because I didn't grill it, but the prep was super easy and only about 10 minutes. Love it and will be using it again and again!

It cost me a small fortune to make this recipe. Gorgonzola & Asiago cheeses were $10 alone- in addition to $8 for the flank steak and that doesn't even count the EVOO, green onions, and fresh spinach. Needless to say- if the dish tasted good it would be worth it, I've been cooking for 23 years and KNOW how to follow a recipe and follwed this on to a T- the meat was raw- cooked if for 1/2 an hour in the oven and that worked better. Overall the dish just tasted odd, the cheeses were just a bad combination altogether. Take my advice, save your money and don't make this dish, it looks much better than it tastes!!!
