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

Preparation

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).

Mix pesto and cheese; spread evenly on insides of pockets; press pockets closed. Drizzle oil over beef.

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.
