  THIS IS A LEFT-OVER RECIPE FOR USE WITH THE AROMATIC CANNELLINI BEANS
  MASTER RECIPE.
  
  Remove the steak and beans from the refrigerator to take off a bit of
  the chill.
  
  Meanwhile, prepare a pesto by placing the basil, parsley, garlic and
  Parmesan in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process
  until finely chopped, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. With
  the motor running, pour in the olive oil, then the water, in a thin
  stream.
  
  Mix the beans with half the pesto, season with salt. Set beans and
  remaining pesto aside.
  
  Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill, turning
  once, until just rare in the center, about 12 minutes total. remove
  from the grill and lst stand for 5 minutes, then cut across the grain
  into very thin slices.
  
  Divide the beans among dinner plates. Top with 2-3 slices of grilled
  steak and drizzle with some of the remaining pesto.
  
  This may serve 6 in your family -- it only serves 4 in mine.
