Instructions:

1. Make the Marinade:

   • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
   • Whisk to mix thoroughly and create the marinade.

2. Marinate the Steak:

   • Using a sharp knife, make shallow diagonal cuts (about 1-inch apart) across the surface of the flank steak.
   • Place the steak in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag tightly, removing as much air as possible.
   • Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, turning the steak occasionally to ensure even marination.

3. Prepare the Steak for Baking:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
   • On a cutting board, sprinkle the salt over the second minced garlic clove. Use the flat side of a knife to mash the garlic and salt together to form a paste. Spread this garlic paste evenly over the top side of the flank steak.

4. Assemble the Pinwheels:

   • Sprinkle the chopped onion and bread crumbs evenly over the garlic paste.
   • Arrange the spinach leaves on top of the bread crumbs.
   • Follow with the shredded Swiss cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

5. Roll and Secure the Steak:

   • Starting at one of the short ends, carefully roll up the flank steak, enclosing the filling.
   • Secure the roll with kitchen twine or toothpicks at 1-inch intervals.
   • Place the rolled steak seam-side down in a baking dish.

6. Bake the Steak Pinwheels:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

7. Rest and Serve:

   • Remove the pinwheels from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the filling to set.
   • Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels and serve hot.
