  1. We liked this but used a 1 lb flat iron steak with 3/4 of the pesto. Flat iron is a bit leaner so we felt it needed more pesto flavor. It was good with some sauteed mushroom and zucchini on the side.

  2. Excellent! Just loved this. I usedArugula Basil Pesto to stuff into the steaks. I made a small hole into a simi frozen steak then with the knife moved it so the inside was wider then the hole. Once filled with the pesto I topped with a slice of cheese to help hold the pesto in. Let the steaks come to room temperature. Then grilled for 7 minutes. Thanks!
