Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb beef sirloin steak
  • 0.75 cup basil pesto store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Season the beef sirloin steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Brush steak with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the steak on the grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  • Remove steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the steak thinly and spoon the basil pesto evenly over the top before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, try making your own fresh basil pesto and serve with roasted vegetables or crusty bread.
