Happy Wednesday, you fabulous people!
I don’t do a ton of meat on here because I eat a ton of seafood. But I must admit that I do love a good steak dish from time to time. This dish was so fantastic I was asked to “put it on rotation”. It comes together so fast and really packs a flavor punch.
First, marinate your steak. I let mine do so for about eight hours just to make sure that flavor sank in.
My favorite pesto:
One big handful or fresh basil and the same of spinach
1/2 cup Parmesan
1/4 cup walnuts
About 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt
For your marinade:
Equal parts honey and extra virgin olive oil (like 1/2 cup)
Three garlic cloves, minced
Equal parts red wine vinegar and soy sauce (like 2 tbsp)
Salt and pepper
Add all of that to your food processor and store in the fridge or use. I never buy pesto I always make this. You may need to add more oil if you desire a different consistency. You may also need to splash a little water in it. Also, I love to use walnuts in my pesto but you can use pine nuts as well.
For this just grill your steak as desired. I like mine still pink in the middle. Let it rest for ten minutes and slice. Add mozzarella, pesto, cooked corn, and whatever veggies you happen to have in the fridge. I went with some cherry tomatoes on the vine. Another option is to turn it into a sandwich which is what Mk did. Needless to say this is a crowd pleasing (and simple) recipe for busy week nights.
