Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- 1,400 ml london broil steak
- 800 gr aromatic cannellini beans
- 120 ml water
- 120 ml olive oil
- 40 gr basil leaf packed (fresh)
- 40 gr parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 26 gr italian parsley packed
Remove the steak and beans from the refrigerator to take off a bit of the chill.
Meanwhile, prepare a pesto by placing the basil, parsley, garlic and Parmesan in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until finely chopped, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil, then the water, in a thin stream.
Mix the beans with half the pesto, season with salt. Set beans and remaining pesto aside.
Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until just rare in the center, about dozen minutes total. remove from the grill and lst stand for 5 minutes, then cut across the grain into very thin slices.
Divide the beans among dinner plates. Top with 2-3 slices of grilled steak and drizzle with some of the remaining pesto.
This may serve 6 in your family -it only serves 4 in mine.
