Pizzaiola Style Flank Steak Pinwheels Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the rolls cut-side up on a baking sheet, brush with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks all over with salt and pepper.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and cook the steaks until they reach the desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board to rest.
• Meanwhile, add the roasted peppers, garlic, onions and pepper flakes to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the onions have started to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, stirring and scraping the bottom to deglaze, another 30 seconds. Add the stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepperoncini and oregano. Bring to simmer and cook for a couple minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Remove from the heat and taste, adjusting the seasonings if needed.
• Slice the steak and shingle over the top of the skillet. Sprinkle over the parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve with the toasted ciabatta rolls.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the steak all over with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the garlic to the skillet. Once it sizzles, add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften slightly, about 4 minutes. Add the pepperoncini, tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes and 3/4 cup water and stir to combine. Bring to a rapid simmer, then nestle the steak in the sauce and simmer, turning once, until medium rare, about 7 minutes.
• Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest about 5 minutes. Continue simmering the sauce until thickened, about 3 more minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and divide among plates. Top with the sauce and parsley. Serve with focaccia.

Steps:

• Meanwhile, season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the steak and cook until well browned, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet along with the bell peppers, red onion, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, stir in the wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the pasta and any steak juices to the sauce; toss until warmed through, about 1 minute, adding the reserved cooking water as necessary to loosen. Season with salt and pepper and stir in 3/4 cup basil. Divide among bowls. Thinly slice the steak and serve on the pasta. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup basil.
