PESTO STUFFED STEAKS

PESTO STUFFED STEAKS

4 (1/2 lb.) beef rib eye steaks, about 1-1/4" thick
1/2 cup basil pesto
6 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 ounces softened cream cheese
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper



Heat grill. Cut into side of each steak, forming a deep pocket. Be careful not to cut through to opposite side.
In small bowl, mix pesto, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and green onion and spread into pockets. Press closed and drizzle oil over beef.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place steaks carefully on grill and cook 4-5" from medium coals for 12-15 minutes for medium doneness, turning once. Remove from grill, cover, and let stand for 5-10 minutes. Cut beef into thick strips to serve. 4 servings
