Method
step 1
Mix half the garlic, a few basil leaves, the vinegar, 1 tsp oil and a grinding of pepper. Pour over the steak and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes or longer in the fridge.
step 2
Bring the steak up to room temperature. Put the pine nuts, parmesan, remaining basil and garlic, 1 tsp oil and 1 tbsp water in a small blender and whizz until smooth. Season. Heat a grill pan to high, remove the steak from the marinade and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, or longer, if you like. Rest under foil.
step 3
Put the tomatoes in a pan with the balsamic, and gently cook until they start to burst. Put the steak and tomatoes on a plate. Drizzle with any leftover balsamic, and add the pesto
