  • 1/4 cup diced roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup balsamic syrup or glaze

Directions

  1. Please beef Flank Steak between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using smooth side of meat mallet, pound steak to 1/2-inch thickness.
  2. Place tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of mustard in food processor; pulse on and off until smooth. Add basil and parsley. Pulse on and off until smooth, scraping sides of food processor container as needed.

  5. Remove string from pinwheels. Place arugula on serving platter. Sprinkle with roasted corn and bell pepper; top with pinwheels. Drizzle balsamic over pinwheels and arugula.
