Here’s one of my favorite summertime recipes. Make sure and follow the directions though. I wouldn’t want you to end up like Steve (Furrygoat); more on that later….

There are two components to the recipe, the Mock Hollandaise Sauce and the Pinwheels.

Mock Hollandaise Sause:
In a small saucepan compine 1/4 cup dairy sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon mustard. Cook and stir over low hear till hot. That’s it! Pour it into a serving dish and serve it with the pinwheels.

Pinwheels Ingredients:
~8 slices of bacon
1.5lbs. Beef flank steak
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Pinwheels step by step:

1) Tenderize the flank steak and add salt and pepper

2) Half cook the bacon and place it on the flank steak

3) Add the cheese

4) Add the spinach

5) Roll the flank steak up as tightly as possible

6) Use string to tie the pinwheels every 1″ or so (Find someone to help you)

7) Slice the Flank steak between the string - Tip - I slice the ends off of both sides and set them aside for omlets the next morning. If you try and grill the ends, they will usually crumble and burn.
Skewer the sliced pinwheels (I like to use two skewers so that they are easier to flip on the grill)

9) Grill about 5-7 minutes per side for medium rare (given 1″ thick pinwiheels)

10) Serve by removing the skewer and cutting off the string.

Enjoy!

P.S. Here’s what happened to Steve. He came to work one day and asked me if I had any good recipes for the grill. I gave him this one. He chose to debut this recipe while entertaining both his parents as well as his inlaws. Somewhere along the way, Steve thought it might be easier if he simply grilled the entire pinwheel ‘loaf’ instead of slicing and skewering it. The result? From what I hear, it was horrible; well done on the outside and completely raw and cold on the inside. Of course Steve blames the recipe . Follow directions and I can promise you a great meal. Don’t take the path of the goat!
