Ingredients

Scale

For Caramelized French Onions:

  • 2 medium White Onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup of Beef Broth
  • 2 oz of Bourbon
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Rosemary
  • 8 Garlic Cloves minced
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp of Beef Tallow
  • 3 tbsp of Gruyere grated
  • 1 tbsp of Panko Crumbs
  • 1 tbsp of Melted Butter
  • 1 tbsp of Parmesan grated

For Steak Pinwheels:

  • 23 Skirt Steaks
  • 1 tbsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • Canola Oil (as needed)
  • Chopped Parsley (for garnish)
  • 68 slices Swiss Cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 350F) for direct cooking. Add a cast iron skillet to the grill 2 minutes before cooking.
  2. Caramelize the onions: Melt beef tallow in the skillet and cook the thinly sliced white onions with salt and pepper until caramelized, about 45-60 minutes. Add garlic and rosemary, then deglaze with bourbon and beef broth, and add brown sugar.
  3. Prepare the steak: Flatten skirt steak, season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Layer with Swiss cheese and caramelized onions, roll up, secure with twine, and slice into pinwheels.
  4. Grill the pinwheels: Sear each side for 1 minute, then cook over indirect heat until internal temperature reaches 125F, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Finish and serve: Rest the steaks, add cheese crust, caramelize, slice, and serve garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Make sure to monitor the caramelized onions closely to prevent burning.
  • Adjust grilling times based on the thickness of the skirt steaks for desired doneness.
