Talk about a dish that looks as delicious as it tastes! You will surprise your guests (and yourself) with how fancy and complicated that these beauties look, but they are super easy to prepare!

I like to serve these with brown rice and a nice big salad. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 lb. flank steak, *butterflied and pounded thin
• 1 cup low-fat ricotta
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp.each: salt and pepper
• 2 tsp. fresh minced garlic
• 1/3 cup reduced fat grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 2 whole scallions
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 to 10 wooden skewers, soaked in water

 

PREPARATION

• Preheat your grill at high temperature

• In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper

• Lay butterflied steak onto a clean, flat surface. (*note: if you have never butterflied a steak before, the best thing to do is to watch a YouTube video on how to butterfly steak)

• Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the steak. Next, layer spinach leaves and scallions evenly distributed on top of the cheese mixture.

• Start at one end and roll the flank steak tightly away from you. Insert wooden skewers approximately 1-inch apart through the steak to hold it together.

• Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

• With a sharp knife, carefully cut between each toothpick to form even sized pinwheels.

• Put on the grill for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until desired level of doneness.
