Category: Grilling
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  


4 (1 1/2-inch-thick) center-cut bone-in pork chops
4 (6-oz.) beef tenderloin fillets (about 2 inches thick)
Kosher salt
Pepper
Cilantro Pesto (recipe follows)
Garnishes: fresh cilantro sprigs, rosemary sprigs, chives

Sprinkle pork chops and beef fillets evenly with desired amount of salt and pepper. Grill chops and fillets, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350 to 400 degrees). Grill chops 8 to 10 minutes on each side or until done. Grill fillets 8 to 10 minutes. Turn fillets over, and cook 5 more minutes or to desired degree of doneness. Remove chops and fillets from grill, and let stand 5 minutes. Serve with Cilantro Pesto. Garnish, if desired. Serves 8

Cilantro Pesto
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup (1 oz.) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds, toasted
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup olive oil

Pulse first 6 ingredients in a food processor 10 times or just until chopped. Drizzle olive oil over mixture, and pulse 6 more times or until a coarse mixture forms. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

NOTES: For a more saucy version, simply add more olive oil. Try it with grilled chicken, fish, or veggies.
