Grilled steak pinwheels.

Step 1: It’s all about the layers.

Pinwheels work best with flank steak because of its size and taste. It’s large enough to make pinwheels and packed full of that delicious beefy flavor. To prep it, take your knife, and carefully cut right down the middle of the flank steak. We’re cutting it lengthwise to open it up like a book. Be sure not to cut it all the way through. Remember, “open book”.

Place a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the steak and pound the meat evenly throughout until it is about 1/4 inch thick.  And finally, square up the edges to create a uniform rectangle. Scroll down to watch the recipe video.

Season with your choice of BBQ or steak seasoning.  I used Dad’s All Purpose rub which is perfect for steak, brisket and anything beef.

Start layering with slices of provolone cheese, followed by spinach leaves, stems removed, and sun-dried tomatoes.  Drizzle some of the oil from the tomato jar for extra flavor.

Recipe Tip

Get crazy with the filling. Use bell peppers, onions – raw or sautéed, honestly anything here will work. It’s a great way to use up whatever ingredients you have on hand.

Steak Pinwheel stuffing

To roll the steak pinwheel, start from the shorter side and start rolling down.  Make sure to keep everything tightly in place as you roll.  This will ensure the ingredients stay packed together after slicing.

To help secure the meat roll and hold its shape, tie butcher twine around the roll about 2 inches apart from one another. Season the outside with more BBQ rub. Optionally, you can also use wooden skewers to help keep everything together.

Finally, slice the beef roll evenly between the skewers.  You should be able to see the pinwheel pattern of the beef and veggie combo.

Must have grillin seasonings!

Step 2: Time to grill the steak pinwheels.

For this recipe I used a griddle, but these can also be cooked on a regular grill on indirect heat or even on your stove in a skillet.

Set to griddle on high heat at 400 degrees.  Place the skewered steak pinwheels on the flat top and grill 5 minutes per side.  For medium rare you want the steak to reach 125 degrees internal temp.  If you are going for a more cooked piece, medium should be removed around 135-140 degrees.

Remove the skewers and any butcher twine and let the grilled steak pinwheels rest for 10 minute before serving.  Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

At what temperature should I remove the steak?

The internal temperature all depends on how you want or prefer your steak cooked. For a medium rare, remove it at between 120-125 degrees. If you are going for a medium cooked steak, anywhere between 135-140 degrees. Anything over will be well done. Remember to always rest the meat for 10 minutes before slicing.

Can I make this in the oven or stove top?

Absolutely! I like to make these in a cast iron skillet on the stove. This way you get an amazing flavor crust on the outside.
