Flank Steak Pinwheels

I definitely recommend preparing this in advance and refrigerating a few hours before cooking. Makes it easier to cut. I purchased round sirloin steak for this recipe that was about 1/2" thick. I didn't have a meat mallet so used a rolling pin to flatten it to about 1/4". I followed the recipe as indicated. I rolled it, then double-wrapped it in plastic wrap, to help keep the form. Refrigerating at this point helps to firm up roll and keeps it "together" when it's time to cut. I cooked it in the oven on a foil-lined, oiled baking sheet @ 450F for 8-10 mins, rotated, then cooked for another 3-5 mins. Turn on the broiler for about 3 mins to help crispen the meat a little. Fairly easy to make. Somewhat flavourful. Found the meat a little dry - not sure if it was the cut or the length of time it was cooked. Not sure if I'll attempt this recipe again but if I do, I'll definitely reduce the time to cook in the oven.

Awesome yummy steak Looks nice easy and tastes great! We will definetly be making this again.

Excellente'This was amazing! I used a little bit of shredded vegan cheese as a substitute and used the oven at 425 for 40 minutes... way too long! Should have done it for 20, still great though. Thanks for the wonderful lower calorie recipe!!Pros: Beautiful presentation,Cons: I overcooked it :(

Ok, but NOT worth the effort! Great if you want to work on your steak pounding skills. Not great if you can't keep your roll together- which was hard for me since the steak didn't turn out a perfect square (or even a rectangle would have been nice!), or 1/4in thick throughout. I also didn't get the pinwheel effect, more of a "c" shape because it fell apart on the way to the grill. I'd say get some tips on rolling meat first, and THEN try. For me, this recipe wasn't tasty enough for all of the effort I put into it, and I probably won't make it again... I don't mind doing a little work, but if the outcome isn't all that great, it's just not worth it.
