It is so easy to make your dinner a little extra special. I had lots of left over parsley from Thanksgiving and did not want it to go to waste. I usually do not like to fiddle with a nice piece of steak; however this was well received at my table and so easy.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 boneless sirloin steak

For the Parsley Pesto:

  • 1 cup fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 - 2 cloves of garlic - depending on your taste
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
  • 2-3 tbs. olive oil
  • 2-3 tbs. butter

Instructions

  1. Place all of the above in a food processor and process.
  2. Rub the pesto on both sides of the steak and let the steak sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a large cast iron frying pan and place the steak in the pan. When the steak reaches a nice golden color on one side; flip and continue cooking on the other side.
  4. The feel of the steak tells you how well done the steak will be. When the steak is firm, it is well done. Remember this when cooking; especially if you do not like your steak well done!

    I do have lots of parsley leaves left in refrigerator. It seems very simple yet gorgeous looking. I love to have this dish soon...perhaps this evening.

    I recently started sharing recipes on The Jenny Evolution and thought it would be terrific to have a group on FB where we can share our recipes not just with other bloggers but with people who are searching out recipes. That said, I’m launching a Food Blogger group! If we work together we can make this a great outlet for all of us. If you’d like to join, visit me here https://www.facebook.com/groups/341455112700743/

    To be approved post to the group, please follow the directions in the group description. Look forward to seeing you there!

    Dear Catherine, A lovely Parsley Pesto Steak, cooked to perfection for sure. I am not a beef person, but I love the ingredients to this. I bet it would be delicious with chicken. Love the photo and like you said you can't let all of that goodness go to waste! Thanks for sharing dear friend! Have a blessed rest of the week! Dottie 🙂
