Cooking Method
- Butterfly the bavette steak and tenderise to a uniform thickness.
- Season the steak lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Prepare the roasted red pepper sauce by blending peppers, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spread the sauce over the steak, layer with Monterey Jack cheese slices, and sprinkle fresh basil if using. Roll the steak tightly, ensuring the grain runs horizontally.
- Tie with butcher’s twine at 3cm intervals and skewer adjacent to the twine. Slice the steak into pinwheels between each twine.
- Sear the pinwheels on a hot cast iron pan or griddle for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Set up the deflector plate for indirect grilling and position the pinwheels away from direct heat.
- Grill with the lid closed, monitoring the internal temperature, aiming for 60C for a medium finish. Allow the pinwheels to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
