Are you looking to impress your guests at your next dinner party? One way to do so is by serving up some delicious steak pinwheels.

But how do you butterfly flank steak for pinwheels? Don’t worry, it’s easier than you might think.

First, it’s important to understand what butterflying means. Butterflying involves cutting a piece of meat horizontally and opening it up like a book to create a thinner, larger piece. This technique is commonly used for stuffing or rolling meat.

To butterfly flank steak for pinwheels, follow these simple steps:

1. Begin by placing the flank steak on a cutting board with the grain running horizontally.

2. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the flank steak in half horizontally, but not all the way through.

3. Open up the flap of the steak like a book so that it lays flat on your cutting board.

4. Use a meat mallet to pound out any thicker parts of the steak until it’s an even thickness throughout.

5. Season the inner side of the steak with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning blend.

6. Add your desired filling ingredients such as spinach, cheese, roasted red peppers or anything else you prefer.

7. Roll up the steak tightly like a jelly roll and use toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep it in place.

8. Season the outside of the roll with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning blend.

9. Heat up some oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat and sear each side of the roll until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

10. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare typically takes around 15 minutes).

11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into pinwheel rounds.

And voila! You now have a beautiful and delicious steak pinwheel dish to impress your guests with.

In conclusion, butterflying flank steak for pinwheels is a simple technique that can elevate any meal. Remember to use the proper tools, season well, and get creative with your fillings. Happy cooking!
