Grilled Steak Pinwheels are rolled slices of seasoned steak stuffed with cheese, herbs, and vegetables, then grilled to juicy perfection. This crowd-pleasing recipe is flavorful, visually stunning, and perfect for both casual cookouts and special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 to 2 lbs flank steak or skirt steak (butterflied or pounded to 1/2-inch thick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or 1 tbsp fresh chopped herbs (basil, oregano, parsley)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or arugula
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup provolone, mozzarella, or feta cheese
  • Butcher’s twine (for tying)

Instructions

  1. Lay steak flat on a cutting board. Butterfly or pound it to an even 1/2-inch thickness if needed.
  2. Rub both sides with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning or herbs.
  3. Layer spinach, roasted red peppers, and cheese evenly over the steak, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Starting from the long side, roll the steak tightly into a log. Tie with butcher’s twine at 2-inch intervals.
  5. Slice between the twine to create pinwheels.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F) and oil the grates.
  7. Place pinwheels cut-side down on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until steak is seared and cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then remove twine and serve.

Notes

  • Use butcher’s twine for best hold; toothpicks can work in a pinch.
  • Slice against the grain for tender bites when eating.
  • Prep ahead by rolling and tying the steak up to a day in advance.
  • Try different cheeses or fillings like mushrooms, onions, or pesto for variety.
