Today's Poll Question

With the 4th of July approaching, how have your neighbors behaved with their use of fireworks?
No problem. They keep the fireworks to mostly daytime hours and are usually done by about 10 p.m.
We have occasional booms after 11 p.m., but it hasn’t been too bad.
Holy bottle rockets! It sounds like a war zone around here far too late into the night and the mess on the streets is worse by the day.

Simply Cookin' Chef Mitzi Stinson shows you how to make flavorful Steak Pinwheels in only 25 minutes.

Layers of juicy steak are filled with two bubbling cheeses, spinach and green onions. Flavors marry as the combination cooks to a crisp over a hot grill.

Serve this dish on top of a bed of spinach for dinner or set them out at your next party. These pinwheels are a sure hit with family and friends.

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 8 to 10 pinwheels

Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray, 30 Minute Meals

 

1 large sirloin or flank steak, butterflied along the grain

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 oz. Asiago cheese, shredded

8 oz. baby spinach leaves; washed, patted dry, stems removed

6 oz. Gorgonzola, crumbled

4 scallions, chopped

8 to 10 wooden skewers, (soaked in water if using on an outdoor grill)

Preheated grill or grill pan to high

 

To butterfly the 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 steak out so that the grain is running left to right.

Begin layering the 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.
