From the counter

About flank steak pinwheels.

The Italian-American classic. Braciole rolled from flank instead of top round — the flank's long grain gives every slice a spiral of meat and filling that stays intact on the fire. We take a whole trimmed flank, butterfly and pound to ¼", layer prosciutto di Parma, aged provolone, garlic, parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil, then roll along the grain and tie off with butcher's twine.

Sliced 1" thick into individual pinwheels — four to six per tray depending on the flank. Ready to hit a hot pan or a screaming grill straight out of the case. The filling melts, the meat sears fast, the whole thing eats between medium-rare and medium.

One of the counter's steady weeknight sellers. If we're out, we can prep a fresh batch in 20 minutes — call ahead and we'll have them ready.

Cooking notes

How we'd cook it.

01 · Method

Cast iron

Hot pan, neutral oil. Sear cut-side down 2 minutes to set the spiral. Flip, 2 minutes on the other cut side. Roll to sear the outside 30 seconds. Rest 4 minutes. The filling should be soft but not weeping.

02 · Method

Grill

High direct heat, cut-sides get 90 seconds each. Roll to mark the outside. Total time under 5 minutes. Watch for the toothpick or twine — pull those before serving.
