Ingredients

1 large flank steak, butterflied along the grain
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces Asiago, shredded
8 ounces curly loose spinach leaves, washed, patted dry, stems removed
6 ounces Gorgonzola, crumbled
4 scallions, left whole
8 to 10 wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

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.

Wonderful with lamb
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

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.Read more

Excellent! and Reviews are definitely worth reading!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

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!

Good if you like strong cheese flavors...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

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! Read more
