Pesto Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6g green tea bbq seasonings
• 2 rib-eye steaks or any steak of your choice (about 8 ounces each)
• 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh basil sprigs, for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Steaks:

• Start by seasoning the steaks with the green tea bbq seasonings, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the pesto.

Make the Pesto:

• In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and minced garlic. Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto is smooth and well combined.

Cook the Steaks:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference.

Rest the Steaks:

• Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.

Serve the Steaks with Pesto:

• Slice the steaks against the grain and arrange them on a serving platter. Spoon the pesto over the steaks, ensuring an even coating. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs for a pop of color and freshness.

Enjoy Your Pesto Steak:

• Serve your delicious pesto steak as a main course. The combination of tender, juicy steak, the aromatic pesto, and the unique flavors of green tea bbq seasonings creates a delightful and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a dinner party. Enjoy!
