INSTRUCTIONS
- Lay your skirt steak out on a cutting board, slice it in half.
- Cover it with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a heavy mallet or food mallet, hammer the skirt steak until it is less than ½” thick.
- Mix together your salt, pepper and garlic then lather your steak with oil and season both sides.
- Next, add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, salami and Calabrian chili oil.
- Carefully roll the skirt steak up lengthwise to create the pinwheel. Secure the roll with two strings of butcher twine and slice between them to make two separate pinwheels.
- Season the top with salt, pepper and garlic. Repeat this with the rest of the skirt steak for all of the pinwheels.
- In a blender, add all the ingredients for the pesto except the olive oil and pulse to chop it up a bit.
- Then add your olive oil and fully blend until well incorporated but still chunky.
- Set to the side until ready to use.
- Preheat your grill using Cowboy Lump Charcoal for a two zone high heat temperature (around 400F).
- Add your pinwheels to the hot side of the grill to sear each side for 1 minute per side or until they have developed a nice crust.
- Once they have a nice crust on the outside, pull the pinwheels over to the cool side of the grill to cook until they reach 125F internal (about 10-15 minutes more).
- When the steaks are done, pull them off and let rest for 10 minutes.
- After resting, add some pesto to the top of each pinwheel.
- Torch or broil the crust till it’s caramelized. Slice, serve and enjoy!
