Directions

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.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

New York strip or sirloin steak can be substituted for the rib-eye.

To retain beef juices, turn the steaks with tongs instead of piercing them with a fork.

I made these with 1" steaks instead of the 1.5" steaks the recipe calls for. The pockets were a little harder to cut, but the steaks still turned out delicious and tender!
