Steak Pinwheels

Ingredients
2.25-pound flank steak
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon cracked peppercorns
1 tablespoon minced garlic
5 ounces cream cheese
3 slices Parmesan or Fontina cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
2 tablespoons salted butter

Instructions
1. Place the steak between two pieces of plastic wrap, with enough room to expand. On a cutting board, use a meat mallet to pound the steak until it's 1/4-inch thick.

2. Sprinkle both sides of the meat with the salt, pepper and garlic. Spread the cream cheese on one side and cover with cheese slices. Place spinach leaves on top.

3. Roll up the steak, starting from one of the long sides. The rolled log should be about 4 inches in diameter. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

4. Remove from freezer, unwrap the roll, and tie baker's twine around it in six evenly-spaced places, starting near the center and tying about 1-1/2 inches apart. With a sharp knife, cut the roll into six pieces, between the ties. Each piece should be about 1-1/2 inches thick with a tie in the middle.

5. Set your oven to 350 degrees F to preheat it. Place an oven-safe grill pan or a 10-inch cast iron skillet on the stove and set at medium-heat to preheat it.

6. Add butter to the preheated pan and cook the pinwheels on the stove for 2 to 3 minutes until they're browned. Turn them over and brown the other side for about 2 minutes.

7. Place the pan in the preheated oven on a rack in the middle position. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or to desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer can help with this.

8. When done, remove from oven and cover the pan with a foil tent for 5 minutes. Then remove the twine ties and serve.

This recipe for homemade cheese is very, very easy. No special equipment is needed. The texture of the cheese reminds me of feta, which I love. You can slice it, spread it on crackers and sandwiches and crumble it on your salads etc.  I used some of it on a chicken pizza, and wow, so delicious.

Homemade No-Churn Ice Cream Sundaes

Image
Homemade ice cream sundaes from scratch!  I have had a hankering for ice cream lately. I really enjoy making it at home with ingredients I can pronounce. No fancy machine needed! I like to embellish my sundaes a bit with homemade chocolate ganache sauce or strawberry sauce. You can stick a chocolate caramel turtle on your chocolate sundae as well. Yum!  Am I eating them all myself? No! I always share with my family, of course!  I made them just in time too because I started to get a sore throat last night. This ice cream really feels soothing going down. It's so creamy and smooth.  With the recipe for the vanilla ice cream below, you can use it as a base for whatever kind of ice cream you want to make. Just add fruits and sauces to change the flavor. You can add peanut butter too. The sky's the limit. To freeze, I put the ice cream in Glad® plastic containers. They come with lids and keep the ice cream fresh. You can find them next to the freezer bag aisle at your gr...
