Ingredients
Method

- Drizzle olive oil over the steak and season evenly with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper. Flip the steak and repeat for the other side.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly over the steak, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle spinach evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle roasted red peppers over the steak if using.
- Starting from one short end roll the steak up tightly into a log. Secure with butcher’s twine at 1 to 2 inch intervals.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. While oven is preheating, heat a skillet over medium high heat. Sear the pinwheel log for 2 – 3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
- Transfer to a 375°F oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (medium rare) to 140°F (medium).
- Let rest for 5 – 10 minutes then slice into 1 inch pinwheels. Serve warm and enjoy!
