Beef Spiedini

Ingredients

• 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 inch thick and 1-1/2 pounds)

MARINADE:

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

BREADING:

• 1-1/4 cups seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• Dash pepper
• 3/4 cup marinara sauce

ASSEMBLY:

• 1 medium red onion
• 40 fresh sage leaves
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Description

1.  Thinly slice steak widthwise into 5-in. strips. In a shallow bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Add beef; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
2. Combine the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Transfer half of the mixture to a shallow bowl; set aside. For filling, add marinara sauce to the remaining crumb mixture and mix well. Spread 1 teaspoon filling over each beef strip and roll up into pinwheels. Coat with reserved crumb mixture.
3. Cut onion into 1-in. pieces and separate into layers. Thread a piece of onion, a sage leaf and a beef pinwheel onto a soaked wooden appetizer skewer; repeat. Drizzle lightly with oil and place on a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan.
4. Broil 3-4 in. from heat for 5-7 minutes or until beef reaches desired doneness, turning once.
