Step-by-Step Instructions for Pesto Steak
  1. Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Pour over the flank steak and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, combine arugula, basil, crushed garlic, pine nuts, lemon zest, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, then add Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates.
  4. Grill the flank steak for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill corn alongside for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
  6. Serve the sliced steak with grilled corn, topped with burrata and drizzled with arugula pesto.
