Skirt Steak Pinwheel 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:

• Prep the steak: If the steak is whole cut in to two even pieces. (about 8 inches long +-) Put one piece into a gallon size plastic bag and pound gently to make the meat about 1/4-1/3 inch thick. The results should be about 4 inches wide and 8 inches plus long) Repeat for the second piece. Season both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the two pieces of meat leaving about 1/2 inch border. Next sprinkle the lemon zest over the cheese and then the parsley over the cheese. (Add optional ingredients if desired). Press the cheese, zest and parsley topping to flatten it. Starting with the thinnest end, roll the steak up around the filling. Tie butcher twine around the middle to hold it. Tie 2 or 3 more times spacing the butcher twine to get 2 or 3 pinwheel steaks when cut. (The middle tie may be removed depending upon the size of your steak.) Cut the rolled up steak into 2 or 3 pinwheel pieces depending upon your choice. The finished product are tied pinwheel about 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide and 1-1/2 inches high (+-). Repeat the process for the other half of the steak. For one skirt steak you can get 4 to 6 pinwheels depending upon your size requirements. Cook: Cook the pinwheels on a grill with the pinwheel side down turning once. Cook about 5 minutes per side for medium well. Larger pieces may need to be cooked longer. Use a thermometer to check for doneness. Let meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.
