Ingredients

  • 1.5 pound flank steak bigger is fine
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 2 jalapenos diced and most of the seeds removed
  • 2 handfuls arugula chopped small
  • 1/2 a pineapple cut into thin planks as thin as possible! You could use a peeler

Instructions

  • butterfly the flank steak. Cut it the thin way to open it up like a book leaving a hinge along the grain on one side.
  • mix the cheeses with the jalapeno and arugula until combined.
  • spread the cheeses on the laid out flank steak. Spread it thin and discard any extra.
  • Top with a layer of the thin pineapple.
  • roll up very tight. The grain of the steak should be going along the roll in a straight line, not rolled up with the roll.
  • Place 3 skewers where each roll will be, and cut in between the skewers to form the pinwheels. Chill to firm for a half hour.
  • Grill on high heat for about 6 minutes per side to brown and cook to a medium doneness.
