Instructions
Preheat outdoor or indoor grill or oven broiler.
To make pesto: Combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor or blender; process until finely chopped; add yogurt and lime juice; process until smooth.
Grill/broil steak until cooked to your desired level of doneness; allow it to rest on your cutting board for about 10 minutes to redistribute the juices, then cut diagonally (across the grain) into 1/4-inch slices. Serve steak with pesto sauce on the side. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
