All you need is a few ingredients to whip up these fancy, delicious Stuffed Flank Steak Pinwheels.
Apparently I was not in the mood to use a lot of ingredients in my recipes this week since I made this a couple days before the 5-Ingredient Southwest Chicken Rice Bowls. It may have something to do with the fact that I never remember to bring my bags to the grocery store, and bags cost ten cents in my area. You’ve got to think small when you are a cheap so and so frugal and don’t want to spend an extra dollar on paper bags.
Whatever the reason, all I had to buy for these fancy pinwheel steaks was a thin, flat piece of meat, cream cheese, and spinach. (I already had seasoned salt on hand.) When you see and taste the final product, you’ll never believe that’s all there is to it! This is a dinner you could serve to impress guests. Go ahead and graciously accept all the awe and praise for you mad cooking skills. You don’t need to tell anyone how easy these stuffed flank steaks are to make.
How to Make Stuffed Flank Steak
Spread cream cheese on your steak, and arrange spinach over the top.
Carefully roll and secure with toothpicks. Then bake.
I highly recommend a probe meat thermometer for this recipe because it’s pretty impossible to tell when it’s done without one. If you don’t have one, these are the ones I use, and they come in handy all the time!

Where’s the recipe?
If I were to freeze some of the pinwheels, would it be better to freeze them PRE cooked or should I cook the all first then freeze the leftovers?
Thank you!
Made this tonight and it was a hit! Keto friendly too! Thank you.
These are genius!! I would never think about doing pinwheels with steaks before, but these look truly delicious. Can’t wait to try them myself!
I wanted to make something different and I was going to make flank steak with stuffing but when I saw this recipe with cream cheese and spinach I said oh this is very good so I’m going to make it this way thank you
