This is an easy flavorful recipe that can be put together in no time. Came from my book The Everything quick and easy 30-minute 5 ingredient cookbook. Ingredients:
4 beef tenderloin steaks |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon white pepper |
1 cup basil pesto, divided |
1/3 cup blue cheese |
1/2 cup fresh basil leaf |
Directions:
1. 1. Prepare and heat grill. Place steaks on a platter; sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Using a sharp knife, cut into the side of each steak creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut through to the other side. Fill each pocket with about 2 tablespoons of pesto.
3. 2. Grill steaks, covered over medium coals for 5 minutes. Turn steaks, cover again, and cook for 4 minutes. Top each steak with 2 tablespoons of pesto and sprinkle bleu cheese on top of pesto. Cover and grill for 2-5 minutes, until desired doneness is reached. Meanwhile, roll basil leaves into a round shape and cut into thin strips, creating a chiffonade. Place steaks on a serving platter and sprinkle with basil chiffonade. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
4. This recipe can also be used for chicken breasts as well.
5. (more cooking time for chicken).
