Ingredients
- 1 (3-ounce) jar pine nuts, 1/3 cup
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup arugula leaves
- 2 cloves cracked garlic
- 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 4 handfuls
- Salt and pepper
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, eyeball it
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
- 3 thin cut (3/4-inch) New York strip steaks
- Coarse salt and black pepper
- 1 tall jar, 18 to 20 ounces, roasted red peppers, well drained, about 3 peppers
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Metal skewers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Toast pine nuts in a small pan over medium heat until golden. Place spinach, arugula, garlic, cheese, 2 pinches salt, a few grinds black pepper, nutmeg, and toasted nuts in a food processor. Pulse grind the filling into a paste. Taste and adjust seasonings. Remove 1/2 cup of filling paste to a bowl and stir in extra-virgin olive oil to loosen it. Reserve remaining filling in processor bowl.
- Place steaks between layers of waxed paper several inches apart. Pound steaks with a heavy bottomed pan to 1/2 their thickness. Season each steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Cover each steak with a thin layer of filling and top with roasted red peppers. Roll steaks tightly and cut each steak in 1/2 across. Secure pinwheels with a carefully placed skewer and set 6 pinwheels on a baking sheet. Drizzle with extra-virgin oil and roast 12 to 15 minutes. Remove skewers and transfer pinwheels to dinner plates. Top each with a generous portion of reserved sauce made from filling and extra-virgin olive oil, combined.

What a fun and delicious dish! I love using recipes because it makes you think outside of the box – I don’t think I would have come up with these particular stuffing ingredients on my own. To address a couple of other readers’ concerns: if pine nuts are hard to find or are too expensive, you could always substitute walnuts, which are much cheaper. Also, it’s difficult to find fresh arugula in some grocery stores, so I just used an equal extra amount of spinach and it was perfectly fine. I will make this again soon!
I changed up the recipe a bit but it came out great. The only thing I would do different is cook it in the oven, the meat was kinda raw and hard to cook on the grill. I would definitely make it again!
Tried this with chicken instead and loved it so much more than the with the steak.
This recipe was delicious & simple to prepare. My guests enjoyed it thoroughly.
Restaurant quality taste but a little difficult to get the meet on the skewers.
This is an easy and totally tasty meal. Even my young boys eat the steak part! It is also low carb…easy on the figure!!!
First off, i luv Racheal Ray. She is just a great cook, and she is funny, too!! But, just in case you were wondering, I did eat this recipes, with a few minor ajustments. For instance, in our local grocery store, and hand full of pine nuts is, like, $4.00! And that cheese that grows in Italy, it was $18.99! So, we used a couple subs, but we did do great. The funnest part is to beat it w/ a pan and then put on the peppers and stuff!! I suggest using this recipie with a fruit salad, which contains Starwberry, Mango, Orange, Lemon, Apple, Banana, and Grapefruit, which has a .8 of an teaspoon of Pepperment Extract, and a mixture of two juices, Orange/Grapefruit and Lemon with sugar in it. I also suggest that you use a very easy, very fun, dip made out of lemon juice, lemon zest, and whipped cream, along with a great squash. THE OLIVE OIL IS YOUR FRIEND!!! *laughs* but there is always knew things to try. Join me after Easter Day, as I will have written a Review of Bacon-Wrapped Shirmp.
Black Eyed Peas….till infinity
Everyone loved it!!!! Great presentation, I coupled with a simple salad with romaine and arugula and hearts of palm. Have the butcher cut your meat for you, makes it a lot easier. I didn’t have metal scewers so I used string.
Will surely make again!!
