Pesto skirt steak pinwheels are a great way to upgrade steak night! Stuffed with homemade pesto, provolone cheese and prosciutto.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4-5 steak pinwheels 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb skirt steak
  • 8 slices Provolone cheese slices 
  • 8 slices of Prosciutto
  • 2 tbsp steak seasoning 

Homemade Pesto

  • 1 cup of Basil leaves
  • 3 tbsp Pine nuts
  • 3 cloves minced garlic 
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Make pesto by combining the basil, pine nuts, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in a food processor. Run the food processor and slowly pour in olive oil until combined
  2. Roll skirt steak out then pound it flat with the flat side of a meat cleaver to ensure the meat thickness is even.
  3. Season the meat with a steak rub then spread pesto directly on the top side of the skirt steak.
  4. Add a layer of prosciutto so that it covers all of the pesto. Add a layer of provolone cheese on top of the prosciutto.
  5. Tightly roll up the skirt steak then secure it with butcher’s twine every 2 inches.
  6. Cut individual pinwheels by cutting in the middle each piece of secured twine. Season the outside with steak rub.
  7. Place pinwheels on a hot, oiled griddle over high heat for 3-4 minutes each side  so there is a good sear.
  8. Reduce the heat to a medium low heat then flip every 2 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 135F in the deepest part of the pinwheel.
  9. Remove from heat, rest for 5 minutes then slice in and enjoy!
