Steak with Pesto
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds ribeye or New York strip steak, off the bone, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked flaked salt (see tip below)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mixed peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup Bear Pond Farm Premium Basil Pesto
Instructions:
Preheat a cast-iron pan over a moderate heat until very hot.
Rub the steak with garlic salt, smoked salt and ground peppercorns.
When the pan is ready, brush the oil onto it. Lay the steak into the pan, away from you, and let it sear untouched until a golden crust forms underneath, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Turn and cook the other side for a further 3 to 7 minutes depending on your desired cooking temperature; a medium-rare steak will register 135°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest under aluminum foil for at least 10 minutes.
When ready to serve, slice and serve on a platter with the pesto spooned over.
Tip:
Smoked salt, such as the Maldon brand, is available online.
