Steps:
- Preheat a large cast-iron grill pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Cut the skirt steak into 4 even pieces, rub with half of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until charred on both sides and at the desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness).
- Meanwhile, whisk together the pesto, butter and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Trim the ends of the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with the remaining oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes. Working in batches if necessary, place the asparagus in a single layer on the grill pan and cook, turning once, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.

Steps:
- Chop 4 garlic cloves in a food processor until minced. Add the basil and pine nuts, and pulse a few times to combine. With the food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides.

- Rub the flat iron steaks with the reserved pesto, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill or broiler for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Bring the steaks and pesto up to room temperature while the grill heats.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Steak: Select a flat-iron steak that is about 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure a juicy and flavorful steak.
- Marinate the Steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize and flavor the meat.
- Grill the Steak Over High Heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Let the Steak Rest: After grilling, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
- Make the Pistachio Pesto Butter: This flavorful compound butter is the perfect complement to the grilled flat-iron steak. It is made with a combination of pistachios, basil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
Grilled flat-iron steak with pistachio pesto butter is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The steak is juicy and flavorful, and the pistachio pesto butter adds a unique and delicious flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
