We are still on a grilling roll over at our house. I just don't even feel like using the oven anymore unless, of course, for pies! This Cooking Light recipe was super easy and delicious and I saved the leftover sauce to use on chicken later in the week. The sauce was so good with the meat although I ended up adding extra yogurt to ours to taste so it turned out to not be a traditional pesto.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
1 jalapeño pepper, chopped (use less if you don't want it too spicy)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 tablespoons plain fat-free Greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed
Cilantro sprigs for garnish
3/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
1 jalapeño pepper, chopped (use less if you don't want it too spicy)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove, chopped
3 tablespoons plain fat-free Greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed
Cilantro sprigs for garnish
Directions:
Combine first 6 ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped (about 15 seconds). Add yogurt and lime juice, process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare grill. Season flank steak with seasoning salt and pepper. Grill steak for 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked to desired temperature. Remove from grill and allow steak to rest for 5 minutes. Slice diagonally against the grain into thin slices. Top with pesto and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Im a newbie at pesto and I have been looking at recipes to try with pesto. Thanks for posting this now My list is all narrowed down. It looks amazing and so yum! Wish I could eat the pic it looks that kind of good
That looks amazing & I don't even eat beef!
I thought it was some sort of tartar sauce but what a healthy alternative! Yogurt, I love it!
beautiful dish. love your take on pesto: it surprises me that people don't realize they don't have to use basil.
unrelated: really like the background of your blog: wish I could have some of that wood to use as a backdrop for my photos.
@Olga Thanks! It's just a standard blogger backdrop but I agree, it would be fabulous for photos!
Cannot wait for my cilantro to be ready to pick so I can make this. Going to have to use something other than a flank steak. I have a few sirloins and ribeyes left in the freezer though! Come on over and link it up to Hunk of Meat Monday .
this sounds so fresh and summery! i can't wait to try it!
thanks for linking up to mangia mondays!
