Presto Pesto Sirloin

This is NOT a tried and true recipe, not yet.  But its part of the Busy Nights Healthy Family Meals cookbook section and I've definately put it on my list for trying.

Non stick spray
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano crushed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 lb sirloin steak (boneless), rimmed of all fat

1 c fresh basil
1/2 c chicken broth
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp olive oil
1 medium garlic clove
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
1 tbs and 1 tsp pine nuts (roasted in pan or oven)

Preheat broiler, spray broiler pan & tray with nonstick stuff. 
In shallow dish, stir in lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder & pepper. Add steak and turn over a few times to coat. Let sit 5 or so minutes.
In food processor, process all the pesto ingredients til smooth (not the pine nuts). Pour into small saucepan and bring to simmer over medium high heat. Simmer 2 minutes or so til thickenend, stir occasionally. Remove from heat.

Broil the steak til desire doneness. Serve topped with the pesto & pine nuts.  Round out with brocolli if desired.
