Ingredients

• 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the thinly sliced flank steak on a cutting board. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the steak to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth and flavorful filling.

Step 4

Lay the spinach leaves evenly across the surface of the steak, creating a layer of greens.

Step 5

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the spinach layer using a spatula, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage.

Step 6

Starting at one end of the steak, carefully roll it up tightly to form a pinwheel shape. Secure the roll with kitchen twine or toothpicks to hold it together during cooking.

Step 7

Brush the outside of the roll with olive oil to promote browning.

Step 8

Place the rolled steak seam-side down in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steak reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.

Step 10

Remove the beef pinwheel from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels and serve warm. Enjoy!
