🧂 Ingredients

1 Remove steak from package and pat dry with paper towels.
2 Generously salt and pepper both sides of the steak, and then coat with about 1/4
cup of pesto.
3 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4 Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
5 Once butter has melted, place steak in the skillet.
6 Sear for about 7-8 minutes and then turn the steak oven and sear the other side
for about 5 minutes. Then place the steak in the oven to finishing cooking for
3-6 minutes, depending on how done you like your steak. The longer you bake it,
the more well-done it will be.
7 After the steak finishes in the oven, remove it from the pan and let it rest on
a cutting board for 3-5 minutes. Coat the steak with the remainder of the pesto
sauce before slicing. You can reserve some of the pesto to top the sliced steak
right before serving.
