Teriyaki Beef Spirals

Ingredients:

• 1.25 lbs flank steak
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cups water chestnuts, finely chopped
• 0.25 cups teriyaki sauce
• 1 cup loosely packed spinach, stems removed and sliced into thin strips
• salt
• black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler on high. In a medium bowl, mix together water chestnuts, green onions, spinach, and 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce.
2. Score both sides of the beef in a diamond pattern. Place a sheet of cling wrap on each side of the beef and then pound it into a thin rectangle with a meat mallet. Remove plastic wrap and sprinkle both sides of meat with salt and pepper.
3. Spread spinach mixture evenly on top of meat. Starting from a long edge of the beef, roll it into a spiral. Secure the spiral with 10 wooden toothpicks evenly spaced along the long edge of the spiral. Slice the meat into 10 sections. Place two spirals onto each of 5 skewers, then place in a broiler pan.
4. Brush beef spirals with teriyaki sauce then broil 4-5 inches from heat for 7 minutes. Turn spirals over, brush with teriyaki sauce again, then broil for another 7 minutes. Remove toothpicks and skewers before serving.
