Ingredients

Filling:

1 (3-ounce) jar pine nuts, 1/3 cup
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1 cup arugula leaves
2 cloves cracked garlic
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 4 handfuls
Salt and pepper
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, eyeball it
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it

Steaks:

3 thin cut (3/4-inch) New York strip steaks
Coarse salt and black pepper
1 tall jar, 18 to 20 ounces, roasted red peppers, well drained, about 3 peppers
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Metal skewers

Directions

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Toast pine nuts in a small pan over medium heat until golden. Place spinach, arugula, garlic, cheese, 2 pinches salt, a few grinds black pepper, nutmeg, and toasted nuts in a food processor. Pulse grind the filling into a paste. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove 1/2 cup of filling paste to a bowl and stir in extra-virgin olive oil to loosen it. Reserve remaining filling in processor bowl.

Place steaks between layers of waxed paper several inches apart. Pound steaks with a heavy bottomed pan to 1/2 their thickness. Season each steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Cover each steak with a thin layer of filling and top with roasted red peppers. Roll steaks tightly and cut each steak in 1/2 across. Secure pinwheels with a carefully placed skewer and set 6 pinwheels on a baking sheet. Drizzle with extra-virgin oil and roast 12 to 15 minutes. Remove skewers and transfer pinwheels to dinner plates. Top each with a generous portion of reserved sauce made from filling and extra-virgin olive oil, combined.

Very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I changed up the recipe a bit but it came out great. The only thing I would do different is cook it in the oven, the meat was... kinda raw and hard to cook on the grill. I would definitely make it again!Read more
