Ingredients

  • 2 beef rib-eye steaks, 1 1/2 inches thick (about 2 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Make horizontal cut in side of each steak, forming a pocket (do not cut through to opposite side).
  • 2
    Mix pesto and cheese; spread evenly on insides of pockets; press pockets closed. Drizzle oil over beef.
  • 3
    Cover and grill beef 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 12 to 14 minutes for medium doneness, turning once. To serve, cut beef into thick strips.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    New York strip or sirloin steak can be substituted for the rib-eye.
  • tip 2
    To retain beef juices, turn the steaks with tongs instead of piercing them with a fork.
