Flip and sear the other side for another 30 seconds.
Step 4
Flip again, sear briefly, then remove from the pan and let the steak rest.
Step 5
In a blending cup, add the garlic, nuts, parmesan cheese, seasoned salt and pepper, and a large amount of basil (or Thai basil) in order.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Be sure to pat the steak dry before searing; otherwise, moisture will hinder the Maillard reaction, making it impossible to achieve a crispy crust. 💡
Let the steak rest after cooking (for about as long as the cooking time) to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring they don't spill out when sliced. ⏱️
Thai basil can be substituted for sweet basil in the pesto. For the oil, we recommend using a neutral-flavored cold-pressed avocado oil or a high-quality olive oil. 🌿
