Easter-rific! NewMeMD 's hCG -Friendly Spinach Stuffed Steak Pinwheels

Happy spring, everyone! Our NewMeMD wellness team has the perfect dish for you using spirals of lean flank steak, encircling a luscious filling of spinach and sun dried tomatoes... 

It's perfect for a festive Easter meal but since it's also hCG -friendly, you'll love this easy recipe any day!             

hCG -Friendly Spinach Stuffed Steak Pinwheels

Ingredients

- 1.75 lbs. flank steak

- bag of baby spinach

- 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (coarsely chopped)

- 4 cloves garlic

- 4 tbsp flat leaf parsley

- fat-free chicken broth

- nutmeg

- ground sea salt

- ground black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. 

2. Pound flank steak until 1/4-1/2" thick. Salt and pepper both sides.

3. In a food processor puree spinach, garlic and parsley with just enough chicken broth to create a paste. Then stir in the sun dried tomatoes.

4. Spread paste on one side of the flank steak. Sprinkle nutmeg sparingly.

5. Roll up flank steak and either tie with string or use toothpicks to secure. Make sure when you roll it up the fibers are lengthwise so that when you cut into it, it will be against the grain. Insert meat thermometer.

6. Place face down in pan and bake until meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees (for "medium" cooked steaks). If your steak isn't exactly 1.75 lbs., divide the total weight of the uncooked steak by 3.5 so you know how many portions it should be cut into.
