 THIS IS A LEFT-OVER RECIPE FOR USE WITH THE AROMATIC CANNELLINI BEANS


 MASTER RECIPE.


 


 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 12 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.


 


 Suggested Wine: Australian Shiraz-Cabernet


 


 NOTES : Serve with marinated roasted red peppers; follow with Brandied Figs
