What ingredients are in the pinwheels?
- Why Top Round cut?
- The top round is a nice cut for this recipe. It’s the perfect length a size to make a steak pinwheel. The top round should be approximately 4 to 5 inches across and about a foot long. The thickness should be about an 1/8 of an inch. Top Round is also an inexpensive cut which makes this easy on the wallet. Cuts that also work with pinwheels are flank and skirt steak. They actually might be a little more tender compared to top round, but will be more expensive per pound.
- Spinach and Garlic:
- With its earthy notes and tender texture, spinach adds depth and vibrancy to the pinwheel filling, complementing the robust flavor of the top round beef. Sautéing the spinach in oil and garlic add depth of flavor as well.
- Mozzarella Magic:
- The melted mozzarella cheese brings some creamy goodness. As it melts into the sautéed spinach, mozzarella creates a luscious filling that’s a perfect compliment to the beef.
- Seasoning:
- Salt and Onion Powder complete the dish and enhance the beef flavor.

How to you make top round beef pinwheels?
Start by sautéing spinach in a little olive oil, garlic, and salt. Don’t over cook the spinach and wilt it down to nothing. Just sauté long enough to incorporate the flavors. Let it cool.
Lay the top round flat and season with onion powder, then lay down mozzarella shreds and then the cooled spinach. Roll up the top round and with two pieces of butcher twine, bind the top round rolls.
Heat your gas grill to 375 degrees F and place the top round pinwheels on the grill grates over direct heat. After 5 minutes with a pair of grill tongs, rotate the beef, then rotate again after another 5 minutes. Repeat this process until the pinwheels hit 145 degrees F. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, you should bring the beef up to at least 145 degrees F. With a meat thermometer check the middle of the pinwheel to confirm the internal temp.
Once it comes up to the correct internal temp take off the grill and let rest. After a few minutes, with a good knife slice into two pieces and remove the butcher twine. Serve and enjoy!
