Flank steak is one of those cuts of meat that’s custom built for the grill. When cooked right, it has a mild, beefy flavor and lean texture. It’s best when sliced thinly across the grain as it can be pretty tough.

When I’m preparing flank steaks at home, what I generally like to do is butterfly the flank steak and stuff it with creative ingredients that pack a lot of flavor in a tiny rolled package.

BREAKING: The Fast & Efficient Way To Lose Weight, Just 1 Cup a Day

Flank steak used to be a fairly inexpensive cut of meat, despite not technically being “steak.” Instead, this popular cut of beef comes from the cow’s belly muscles. It’s a flavorful piece of meat and is very lean, containing almost no fat and is thus lower in calories than many other cuts.

A stuffed flank steak pinwheel is one of the fastest-cooking and most impressive-looking pieces of meat you can throw on the grill. In other words, it’s the kind of meal you make when you want to impress the neighbors.

I tried my hand at making three recipes, and these did not disappoint. I hope you enjoy!
