SERVINGS 6 People

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cloves  garlic
  • 2 cups  packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup  pine nuts
  • 1/2 cup  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup  freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon  red pepper flakes
  • 6 (6 ounce)  flat iron steaks
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Hop 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.
