Flank Steak with Lemon-Herb Pesto

10/09/2013

If you were friends with me on Snapchat, you’d likely be getting an inappropriate amount of snaps of my weeknight dinners.

Flank Steak with Lemon-Herb Pesto

Here’s an example of one of my favorite kinds of quick and easy weeknight dinners: a freshly broiled, grilled, or stovetop-cooked steak with a bright, lemony sauce and some veggies on the side. I like to cook a large piece of meat like this, and keep the leftovers for mixing with my breakfast and lunch the next day.

I debated posting this since the lighting was poor, but then I reminded myself that I am a real human being, and that means that sometimes I eat dinner after the sun goes down. So I thought better to share this recipe from Cooking Light with you than not. I don’t make my food at 11am and photograph it like you might see on other food blogs. :)

What I love about flank steak is that is cooks SO quickly. That means dinner in on the table in minutes. The lemon-herb pesto really packs a flavor punch and is also super easy to make. Win win.

We decorated the rest of this client’s home in vibrant blues and purples so I wanted to continue that color story in their main bedroom but in a more muted, calming way. This couple is obviously not afraid of pattern mixing (😍) and it was truly such a joy to hand select fabrics for each element in the room. 🎶
