Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cloves garlic
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
⅓ cup pine nuts
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 (6 ounce) flat iron steaks
2 large cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste

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. Place the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes into the food processor, and pulse until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Rub the flat iron steaks with 2 cloves minced garlic, season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
  • Grill the steaks to desired degree of doneness on preheated grill, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Baste the steaks occasionally with a little of the pesto sauce. Once done, serve topped with the remaining pesto.

The pesto was a bit overpowering for my taste, but the steak itself was excellent. I would recommend using a lighter hand with the pesto next time.
