Introduction: Beef, Spinach and Cheese Pinwheels

Beef pinwheels filled with vegetables and cheese are a different approach to regular steak. Full of flavour, easy to make and served on a stick, they are a fun addition to a garden BBQ.

Supplies

  • 400-600 g beef- large piece of flank steak works best, but pre-cut slices would work too
  • Homemade or store-bought Boursin cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2-4 roasted red peppers
  • Salt, pepper, spices and herbs to taste
  • Thick bamboo skewers

Step 1: Ingredients

Slice peppers into long strips and remove stems from spinach leaves.

Place beef between layers of cling film and pound with a wooden mallet or rolling pin to tenderise and thin out the meat.

Season the meat with salt and pepper and any spices or herbs of your choosing.

Step 2: Filling

Spread a layer of cheese all over the meat, add spinach and press leaves into the cheese. Add peppers, either in strips and sparsely, or halved peppers all over the meat.

Step 3: Rolling

Use cling film to aid you in rolling the meat. Make it as tight as possible. Cover in cling film and refrigerate for a few hours.

Step 4: Cutting

Poke skewers in the meat every 1 - 1 1/2 inch apart and slice the meat between skewers.

Step 5: Cooking

They can be grilled, cooked in the oven, broiled or fried. Grill each side for 2-4 minutes, depending on how done you want the meat to be.
