Ingredients

Scale
  • 1(2-pound) flank steak, pounded to ½-inch thickness
  • ⅓ cupolive oil
  • ⅓ cupsoy sauce
  • ⅓ cupWorcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ tbspDijon mustard
  • 1 ½ tbsplemon juice
  • 2cloves garlic, minced and divided
  • 1 ½ tspItalian seasoning
  • ¾ tspground black pepper
  • ½ tspsalt
  • ⅓ cupchopped onion
  • ⅓ cupdry bread crumbs
  • 2 cupsfresh baby spinach leaves
  • ½ cupshredded Swiss cheese
  • ½ cupgrated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cupchopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained

Instructions

  1. Begin by creating a scrumptious marinade for your flank steak. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, one minced garlic clove, Italian seasoning, and ground black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well-integrated, creating a rich marinade that infuses flavor into the steak.
  2. Using a meat pounder, gently pound the flank steak to a uniform thickness of ½ inch. This not only tenderizes the meat but also helps the marinade penetrate deeper. Next, make shallow diagonal cuts across the surface of the steak. This step creates channels for the marinade, ensuring optimal flavor absorption. Now, place the steak in a large resealable bag, pour in the marinade, seal the bag while squeezing out excess air, and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, preferably overnight. Don’t forget to occasionally turn the bag; this allows every inch of the steak to be well-flavored.
  3. After marinating, anticipate the delightful layers of taste that are about to come together. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to create the perfect environment for cooking your steak. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, and enhance flavor through a garlic paste. Utilize the flat side of a knife to mash the remaining minced garlic clove with a pinch of salt until it becomes a paste. Spread this garlic paste evenly over the surface of the steak for a fragrant base.
  4. Next, layer the chopped onions and dry bread crumbs over the steak. As you move onward, arrange the fresh spinach leaves, ensuring they cover the steak entirely. Follow that with a generous sprinkle of shredded Swiss cheese, grated Parmesan, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. This combination not only adds flavor but also a lovely texture.
  5. It’s time to bring everything together! Starting at one of the short ends of the steak, tightly roll it up like a jelly roll, carefully enclosing all the mouthwatering filling within. Once rolled, secure it using kitchen twine or toothpicks at 1-inch intervals to maintain its shape while cooking. Place the steak roll seam-side down in a baking dish, ready to be transformed into a glorious meal.
  6. With the oven at the perfect temperature, bake the pinwheel-wrapped steak uncovered for about 1 hour. Refer to your meat thermometer to check doneness; it should read at least 145°F (63°C) for a medium level of doneness. Once your steak pinwheels are done, allow them to rest for about 5-10 minutes to enable the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist slices. Finally, slice the pinwheels into 1-inch thick pieces, ready to serve hot!

Notes

Ensure steak is evenly pounded to avoid uneven cooking. Marinating overnight allows the flavors to develop more deeply. Let the pinwheels rest before slicing for juicier results. Secure the roll tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
