How to Serve Cheesy Steak Pinwheels

Cheesy Steak Pinwheels are best served hot off the grill. You can place them on a platter and garnish with extra Spicy Gremolata for color and flavor. Serve them as an appetizer or as a main dish alongside your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

How to Store Cheesy Steak Pinwheels

Tips to Make Cheesy Steak Pinwheels

Choose the right cut of beef: Center cut tenderloin is tender and flavorful, making it the best choice.
Use a sharp knife for filleting to create an even pocket for the filling.
Don’t overfill the pinwheels to prevent them from bursting during grilling.
Marinate the beef in herbs and spices for extra flavor before adding the filling.

Variation

You can easily change the filling to suit your taste. Try using different cheeses like blue cheese or smoked gouda, or swap out prosciutto for bacon for a smoky flavor. Add some roasted red peppers or sautéed mushrooms for an extra burst of taste.
