Elevate your steak night with this Lemon Basil Pesto Flat Iron Steak. The Certified Angus Beef® Flat Iron Steak is grilled to perfection and topped with a vibrant homemade basil pesto sauce. This dish combines the savory flavors of grilled steak with the fresh and zesty notes of basil, lemon, and Parmesan.

Instructions

Prepare Pesto: In a food processor, chop the 2 garlic cloves until minced. Add the basil leaves 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. Add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes, and pulse until blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Season Steak: Rub the steaks with the 4 minced garlic cloves and season with salt and pepper.

Grill Steak: Grill the steaks to your desired degree of doneness on the preheated grill, about four minutes per side for medium. Baste the steaks occasionally with a little of the pesto sauce.

Serve: Once cooked, top the steaks with the remaining pesto sauce. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Pesto Variation: If you prefer a nuttier flavor, you can toast the pine nuts before adding them to the food processor.

Serving Suggestion: Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.

Leftover Pesto: Store any leftover pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
