I am rating this bc I only made the lemon pesto. I was looking for a good pesto..YUM!! I don't like heavy garlic so I only used 2 cloves and it was plenty. Why didn't I think of adding a little lemon juice before?!? It adds brightness to the taste and keeps that wonderful green color..I will always add it now! Thanks for sharing.

If you don't have pine nuts and don't want to pay $6 for a tiny bag of them just use walnuts instead in the pesto. Turned out great! thank you!!

Simple and delicious! I got a chance to make this pesto with my lemon olive oil from Ohio and I added a little lemon zest to brighten the flavor. I will be using this pesto for lots of other dishes!

4.5 stars! I rubbed the steaks with a mixture of jarred minced garlic and Classico pesto, then marinated them 24 hours. I salted and put lemon juice on them, then broiled each side 6 minutes, then sliced. I tossed the slices with Basil Butter from this site (wonderful) and we thought it was very, very good. I served it with Pasta e Olio, also from this site.

I loved this in every way. I don't usually put red pepper flakes in my pesto, but that little bit of heat was great.

The pesto was fabulous! Great recipe! The steak was a little bland unless you coated it in pesto, wished there was something you could to to it to make it a little more flavorful besides the pesto. Thanks so much! Family loved it!

The homemade pesto was excellent; a huge hit. But if you've never had flat iron steak, let me warn you, it is a disgusting cut of beef. There were weird dice- sized chunks of gristle scattered throughout. It was revolting. I wouldn't feed a flat iron steak to my worst enemy's dog.

I cooked these on the George Foreman and just topped the steak with the pesto. It was very good! I didn't actually measure anything except the olive oil and it turned out wonderfuly!
