This is another great recipe from the new Cooking Light cookbook. The recipe is on Cooking Light’s website and is REALLY easy.
I marinated the steak beforehand in a prepackaged marinade (Simply Organic Grilling Seasons Steak Marinade) that has salt, onion, garlic, pepper, thyme, tarragon and bay leaf in it; it just requires the addition of water, oil and vinegar. I wasn’t sure that Boy and Girl would eat the cilantro pesto, so I wanted the steak to have a little flavor of its own.
The pesto was REALLY yummy: tangy, lime-y and a great complement to the steak. I think that this pesto could be used for other things, too – on chicken, in a taco, on top of eggs, maybe mixed into rice. We would definitely make this again.
It just hit me that we’re eating a lot of red meat lately…..maybe fish tomorrow. Hubby’s not a big seafood fan, but he’ll be out of town tomorrow, so……..
