Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef flank steak
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/3 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1/4 cup Fresh basil, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 6 Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Butterfly the beef flank steak: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the steak horizontally, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge to keep the halves attached. Open the steak like a book.

Step 5

Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the opened steak and gently pound it to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Season the inside of the steak with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.

Step 7

Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the steak, leaving a little space around the edges. Top with crumbled feta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped basil.

Step 8

Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the steak into a log, enclosing the filling. Secure the roll with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals or use the wooden skewers.

Step 9

Brush the outside of the beef roll with the remaining olive oil.

Step 10

Place the beef roll on a baking sheet or an oven-safe dish. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into pinwheels.

Step 12

Serve the beef pinwheels warm, garnished with extra chopped basil if desired.
