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.
Parsley Pesto Steak
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 20 1x
- Category: Main Dish
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
- Place all of the above in a food processor and process.
- Rub the pesto on both sides of the steak and let the steak sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- 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.
- 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!
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

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 🙂
