The Simple Life at Home

Updated: I realized when re-reading this that I slice the beef rolls BEFORE baking them. Sorry for the confusion.

Bonnie had asked for the recipe for this super-simple dish I'm making this week. They are very yummy and a great way to get your spinach!

Steak & Spinach Pinwheels

1 lb. very thinly sliced round steak

1 pkg. frozen spinach

8 oz. shredded Parmesan cheese (not the kind from the can - it's just not the same here)

salt & pepper to taste

Thaw and drain well the spinach. I like to squeeze it in order to make sure that all the moisture is out of it. Take one slice of beef and spread a thin layer of spinach over it. Top with cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Roll up beef slices and secure rolls with toothpicks. Cut through rolls into slices, forming pinwheel shapes. Each roll should yield about three pinwheels. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until beef cooks through. Serve.

I find that the Parmesan cheese adds a really nice tang to the beef and spinach. I've also used mozzarella when I'm short on the Parmesan and had good results.
