Description
Steak Pinwheels are an impressive yet simple grilled dish made by rolling seasoned steak with cheese and vegetables, then slicing into beautiful spirals that cook up juicy, tender, and full of bold flavor.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb skirt steak or butterflied flank steak
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or beef tallow
1 teaspoon kosher salt or steak seasoning (plus more to taste)
1 cup provolone or mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
1 cup bell peppers or fresh spinach
1 cup sautéed mushrooms or roasted vegetables
Butcher’s twine, for tying
Instructions
- Butterfly the steak if needed and pound it to less than 1/2 inch thick.
- Brush both sides of the steak with oil and season evenly.
- Layer cheese, vegetables, and mushrooms evenly over the steak.
- Roll the steak tightly into a log and secure with butcher’s twine.
- Slice into even pinwheels.
- Preheat grill to high heat and sear pinwheels for about 1 minute per side.
- Move to indirect heat and cook for 10–15 minutes until internal temperature reaches about 125°F.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Secure pinwheels well to prevent unraveling.
Let steak rest before slicing for juicier results.
Customize fillings based on seasonal vegetables.
Can also be cooked in a cast iron skillet.
