Rachael Rays Flank Steak Pinwheels Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven with a cooling rack-topped baking sheet on the top shelf of the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat a griddle pan or large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat.
• Place the parsley and arugula in a food processor and pulse into a finely chopped mixture.
• Prepare the steak by cutting it nearly in half horizontally and spread it open like a book.
• Top the meat with the chopped salumi and the chopped greens, then return the food processor bowl (without rinsing) to the base. Top the greens layer with the cheeses, then tightly roll the meat into a long, thin log and tie it up with kitchen string to secure. Season the meat with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Brown the meat all over in the hot griddle pan, 5 to 6 minutes, and then transfer to the hot rack-topped baking sheet and finish cooking the steak in the oven, 10 to 12 minutes more for medium-rare to medium.
• While the meat cooks, in a saucepot over medium-high heat, add the extra-virgin olive oil. Add 1/2 the garlic, chile, onion, and oregano and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste for 30 seconds, and then add the wine. Puree the tomatoes in the food processor and add to the sauce. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to simmer until thickened, 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan with the remaining garlic. Toast the bread and brush liberally with garlic butter.
• Slice the steak into thin wheels, discarding string, and arrange on the garlic toasts, topping with sauce and some torn basil. Serve a little pickled giardiniera salad along side in ramekins, as a garnish.

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:

• Mix garlic, steak seasoning, smoked paprika, chipotle or cumin, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar. Whisk in extra-virgin olive oil. Place meat in shallow dish and coat it evenly in marinade. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Cut larger potatoes in half, leave very small potatoes whole. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook potatoes 12 to 15 minutes until tender.
• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
• Cut leek in half lengthwise. Chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Place leeks in big bowl of water and release all the dirt from them with a good swish, separating all the layers. Drain leeks in a colander.
• Grill flank steak 6 to 7 minutes on each side.
• Put a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil into a hot nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook bacon 3 to 5 minutes until it begins to crisp and has rendered most of its fat. Add leeks to the skillet and cook 3 to 5 minutes more until the leeks are tender.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Smash the potatoes with the chicken stock. Add the BLT: bacon, leeks and tomatoes to the potatoes and continue to smash. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Remove flank steak from grill and let juices redistribute before slicing. Thinly slice meat on an angle, cutting the meat against the grain. Serve sliced flank steak next to BLT potatoes and top potatoes with a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, mix marinade ingredients together thoroughly.
• I have also used bottled steak marinade if necessary.
• Flatten the flank steak on a cutting board and pound flat with a meat mallet or the bottom of a glass.
• Add meat to marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove steak from marinade and spread garlic butter (if using) over the flat side of the steak. Layer chopped onion, bread crumbs, red peppers, spinach leaves, and cheese.
• Roll the steak up like a jelly roll and tie with string or close with toothpicks.
• Place the roll in a greased baking dish.
• Bake uncovered for 1/2 hour rare, 45 minutes for medium, and 1 hour for well done. Let stand 10 minutes, then slice into 1 inch slices to serve.
• I have also used garlic herb cream cheese in place of the shredded cheese and butter.

Steps:

• Soak 10 skewers.
• Going with the grain, evenly butterfly flank steak with a sharp knife, being careful not to make any holes. It's okay if you do though; it's not the easiest meat to butterfly.
• Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder or you can use your favorite seasoning.
• With the cut side up, add spinach, green onion and cheese.
• Tightly roll flank steak, keeping all of the ingredients inside. The tighter the better.
• Secure with skewers about 1 to 2 inches from each other. This can be a little tricky.
• Cut directly in the middle of the meat between the skewers to make 1-1 1/2 inch thick pinwheels.
• Drizzle canola or olive oil over each side of the pinwheels.
• Cook on the grill or griddle over high heat for about 5 minutes on each side or until done to your liking.
• Enjoy!
