Steak and Pesto Stir- Fry Recipe - Food.com image

Have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes with this quick and satisfying dish. Using frozen vegetables can make the process even faster. Save time and money by pre-slicing and freezing one-cup portions of your favorite vegetables to have on hand. Store them in Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bags to keep them fresh tasting and protected from freezer burn. You can also buy steak in advance, slice it and freeze it in a Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bag. Stir-fried dishes are usually seasoned with Asian flavors like soy sauce, but this dish uses bold-flavored pesto for an interesting Italian twist. Serve it over rice or pasta.

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb top round steaks or 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
1 cup carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices, about 2 medium carrots
1 cup red bell pepper, seeds and inner membranes removed, cut into 1/4-inch strips, about 1 medium-size pepper
1 cup broccoli floret, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons store-bought pesto sauce
cooking spray or 1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup water
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Substitute 3 cups of your favorite store-bought frozen vegetable medley or packaged stir-fry mix for the fresh vegetables. Frozen vegetables should be thawed and the cooking time may vary depending on the size of the vegetable pieces.
  • Preheat a large 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet (see Chef's Notes) over high heat for 3 minutes. Spray with cooking spray (or add canola oil) to coat the surface of the skillet. The oil should be hot but not smoking. If the oil starts to smoke, reduce the heat to medium-high.
  • Add the sliced steak in two batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. With a wooden or heat-resistant spatula, constantly stir the steak in the pan, allowing it to brown evenly, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove each batch of steak to a serving platter.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high. If the pan is dry, add the 1/4 cup of water to the pan. Add the carrots, red pepper and broccoli (or other vegetables of your choice), stirring them constantly in the pan until they are tender-crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the cooked steak (and its juices) back to the pan and remove it from the heat. Add the pesto and stir to coat the steak and vegetables evenly. Serve immediately.
  • Chef's Notes:.
  • When you're using frozen ingredients, simply pull them from the freezer in the morning and place them in the refrigerator so they're thawed by dinnertime. You can also thaw them in the microwave (according to your microwave's instructions) or in warm water right before cooking.
  • A cast-iron skillet is best for this kind of high-heat cooking because it retains heat very well and is virtually nonstick after it has been properly seasoned. A good 12-inch cast iron skillet is inexpensive and a great value: when treated properly, it will last a lifetime.
  • Nonstick skillets are not recommended for high-heat cooking methods such as stir-frying. If you're using a nonstick skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Cooking times may be longer and the meat may not brown as evenly.

GRILLED PESTO FLANK STEAK - NO RECIPE REQUIRED
In this recipe video, I show you how to grill a flank steak...but not just any ordinary flank steak. For this version, I've made some traditional basil pesto and "baste" the steak with that pesto while it grills. The result, other than a perfectly cooked steak, is a tasty, herby, delicious steak, that is really set apart from anything ordinary. While we only cook the pesto for a minute or two, part of it gets a bit charred and adheres nicely to the meat. Serve it whole, or sliced up (but remember to cut against the grain) maybe with a bit of extra pesto on the side. For a full description, and a list of ingredients, head over to the recipe page linked below. Enjoy!!

  • While I find pan roasting a steak more than an acceptable cooking option, there is something special about using the grill. In this recipe video, I show you how to grill a flank steak, which I season simply with salt and pepper, but then flavor with a bit of homemade pesto sauce.  The pesto, which is grassy, savory and delicious, chars just a bit on the grill, and gives the steak an added pop.  With a fresh salad, and maybe some potatoes on the side, this is one of my favorite summer "outdoor" dinners.  Hope you enjoy it, as much as I do. Recipe Overview and Keys to Success Any time you cook steak, you need to get a good sear/char on the outside to really develop the flavor.  The way to do that, is to use really high heat (so let the grill get going 15 – 20 minutes before you start) and don’t play around with the steak too much.  I generally flip mine just once. With flank steak, how you cut the meat has a huge impact on its tenderness.  There is a natural and pronounced grain to the meat.  Once cooked, you need to slice the meat against the grain for the most tender cut Know your doneness.  I like med-rare; You can cook to whatever you’d like, but know how to tell rare from well done.  I’d suggest you take a look at these Five Rules for the Perfect Steak.  It helps to have the steak at room temp before you start cooking. Use a good pesto.  I like my pesto recipe, but if you want to use store bought, that’s fine.  Just make sure you taste it, and like it. RECIPE FOR GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH PESTO Ingredients (for about 2 people) 1/2 cup of basil pesto 1 lb cut of flank steak Olive oil Salt and pepper Making the Flank Steak and Pesto Take the steak out of the fridge about 45 minutes prior to cooking, and season it generously with salt and fresh ground black pepper on both sides Prepare the pesto sauce, or take it out of the freezer, or open the jar ;-) Light your grill about 15 minutes (if you’re using gas) prior to cooking the flank steak; if you’re using charcoal, get the coals going, and make sure you grill is very hot when you’re ready to start the steak Oil the steak on both sides, and lay it on the hot grill Close the lid; which creates a bit of an oven effect, and lessens the flames up Depending on the thickness of the steak, and your preferred doneness, let the steak cook, without touching, flipping, poking or bothering…for at least 4 minutes…probably more like 5. This time will allow the tasty crust to form; and it won’t burn At the 4 – 5 minute mark, check the steak; it should be browned nicely.  If so, turn the steak.  If not, let it go another minute then flip Take the pesto sauce and slather a good coating on the cooked side; and then close the lid again Cook the steak on the second side for about 1 – 2 minutes less time than what you did on the first side; or until it gets to your desired doneness (mine is med – rare) Flip the steak one more time, apply a coat of the pesto onto the un-coated side, and close the lid to allow it bake on for one more minute Remove the steak and allow it to rest, covered or wrapped in foil, for about 5 minutes Slice the meat against the grain, you can spoon a bit more pesto on if you’d like and serve it up I made some grilled asparagus to go with my steak, long with some potatoes and creamed spinach.  Hope you enjoy it as much I did.
