Instructions
In a food processor add, butter basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Pulse a few times until well combined.
Add lemon juice and drizzle oil. Pulse again.
Add cheese, pistachios and red pepper flakes.
Remove from processor with a rubber spatula onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape into a log.
Place in the refrigerator and allow to set for at least 30 minutes.
Drizzle the steaks with olive oil. Put on the grill, and while cooking season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill for another 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from the grill to a platter and allow to rest for a few minutes. Slice disks of butter, put on steaks while still hot and serve.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Albertina Gold Medal Winner Merlot Lorilai's Reserve Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 25 dollars per bottle.
