Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pesto Steak Confit Dish.

1. Step 1

   To create a delicious pesto-infused steak, start by making your vibrant basil pesto.

2. Step 2

   In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, a generous splash of olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, and toasted pine nuts.

3. Step 3

   Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

4. Step 4

   Don’t forget to season it with a pinch of salt and pepper to elevate the flavors.

5. Step 5

   Next, preheat your oven to a cozy 200°F (95°C).

6. Step 6

   While the oven warms up, take your steaks and generously rub salt on both sides, ensuring they’re well-seasoned.

7. Step 7

   Spread a luscious layer of your freshly made pesto over each steak, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

8. Step 8

   Place the steaks in an oven-safe glass dish and pour enough olive oil into the dish to completely submerge them.
