Method
Steak and Vegetables
Prepare the Steak
Season the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Cook the Steak
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Pesto
Make the Pesto
In a food processor, combine the basil, arugula, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Pulse until finely chopped.
Add Olive Oil
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto reaches a smooth consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Assembly
Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt the Cheese
Place the assembled baguette in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve warm.
