Italian flank steak pinwheels are a flavorful and visually stunning dish made by rolling steak with salami, provolone, garlic, and parsley, then roasting and slicing into spirals. Perfect for special occasions or weeknight meals.

Ingredients

1 whole flank steak, 2 to 2.5 pounds, trimmed of excess fat

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cup chopped parsley

4 ounces thinly sliced salami

4 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)

Kitchen twine, for tying

Instructions

  1. Place the flank steak on a cutting board and pound it lightly with a meat mallet to even the thickness.
  2. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Spread the crushed garlic evenly over the steak, then sprinkle chopped parsley across the surface.
  4. Layer salami slices evenly over the steak, followed by provolone cheese.
  5. Roll the steak tightly from the long side to form a log.
  6. Secure the roll with kitchen twine at 1–2 inch intervals.
  7. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the rolled steak until browned on all sides.
  8. Transfer the skillet to a preheated 375°F oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium-rare.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  10. Slice into pinwheels and serve warm.

Notes

Prepare and roll the steak ahead of time, refrigerating until ready to cook.

Add roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh herbs for variation.

Use mozzarella or fontina instead of provolone for a creamier filling.

For a spicy twist, substitute salami with hot capicola.

Grilling can be used instead of roasting with indirect heat followed by a sear.
