PESTO-STUFFED GRILLED PORTOBELLOS
Pesto-stuffed grilled portobellos make for the perfect summer outdoor meal. It stands alone as vegetarian fare if you serve it with fresh fruit (such as watermelon chunks and blueberries); I love it with cedar-plank grilled salmon as well. You will think you've died and gone to heaven.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will ensure that your pesto is packed with flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice, as they are meaty and have a low water content.
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil has a much more intense flavor than dried basil, so it's worth the extra effort to find it. If you can't find fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but use half the amount.
- Roast the tomatoes before making the pesto: Roasting the tomatoes will concentrate their flavor and make them easier to blend. You can roast the tomatoes in a 425°F oven for 30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
- Season the steaks well: Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before grilling. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook the steaks to your desired doneness: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the steaks and your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare steaks, cook for 6-7 minutes per side. For medium steaks, cook for 8-9 minutes per side. For well-done steaks, cook for 10-12 minutes per side.
- Stuff the steaks with the pesto: Once the steaks are cooked, stuff them with the pesto. You can use a spoon or your fingers to do this. Be sure to evenly distribute the pesto throughout the steaks.
Conclusion:
Grilled tomato pesto stuffed steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The roasted tomatoes and fresh basil in the pesto give the steaks a wonderful flavor, and the cheese adds a gooey, melted texture. These steaks are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
