Breakfast Steak Pinwheels

Steak and eggs are a classic combination, so why not celebrate them with a mouthwatering Breakfast Steak Pinwheel? I have it on good authority that this recipe is a great hangover cure. 

Rolling up the steak with goodies inside makes for an impressive presentation. Layers of bacon, egg, sweet pepper, and cheese - what’s not to love?

You have plenty of wiggle room to put your twist on this dish. Add some onion, cream cheese, mushrooms, olives, spinach, or even crab!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds flank steak 
• Cuso’s Maple Bourbon Seasoning
• 1 lb Bacon (smoked is nice)
• 5 Eggs
• 1 green pepper
• 1 red pepper
• 8 slices shredded aged cheddar cheese
• Butcher’s twine
• Green onion (garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your smoker to 300 degrees F.
2. Prepare the bacon, cutting it into 1-inch pieces using a Chef’s Knife, 
3. Butterfly the flank steak, then pound it using a meat mallet.
4. Fry up the bacon dusted with Cuso’s Maple Bourbon Seasoning
5. Remove from pan
6. Lightly crisp up the peppers.
7. Whisk the eggs
8. Lay the bacon evenly over the bottom of a baking dish
9. Top with the peppers, likewise evenly distributed
10.  Bake the eggs in the oven at 350 for 13 minutes
11.  Lay the egg-bacon flats on top of the flank steak
12.  Top with the cheese
13.  Now comes the fun party. Roll it up like you would a jelly roll
14. Secure the pinwheel using butcher’s twine at both ends, the middle and from end-to-end. Make sure it’s tight. 
15. Sprinkle the entire exterior with more of Cuso’s Maple Bourbon Seasoning
16. Smoke them to medium well (130F)* Internal temperature 125F
17. Rest for ten minutes before serving
18. Slice the pinwheels in 1 ½” servings
19. Garnish with green onion

*Some people like to sear the steak exterior in an iron pan before smoking for a nice crust.

PitMaster’s Memo

If you can’t find flank steak, look for skirt steak instead. Flank steak has a wider surface for your filling than skirt steak, so adjust your fillings accordingly. 

Consider serving with a red wine reduction sauce.
