Cook bacon in a pan on both sides until cooked through but not crispy.
Remove bacon from pan and lay across surface of steak, side by side.
To the pan with the rendered bacon fat, add spinach and garlic. Cook until softened, then place on top of bacon slices. Sprinkle with most of the Parmesan cheese, saving some for serving.
Roll up the steak, using the longer ends so you have one long roll. Secure in place with 4 or so toothpicks.
