Balsamic Caprese Grilled Flank Steak
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs flank steak
Marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
Salt and black pepper to taste
Caprese Topping:
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh mozzarella pearls
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or sliced
Finish:
2 tbsp balsamic glaze
Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Place flank steak into a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour in about half of the marinade and reserve the remaining half separately for later. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
In a medium bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and fresh basil.
Instead of using the reserved raw marinade directly, whisk a fresh dressing using 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper, then toss with the tomato mixture.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (450–500°F / 230–260°C). Lightly oil the grates.
Remove steak from marinade and shake off excess. Grill for 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until internal temperature reaches 130–135°F (54–57°C).
Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest for 10 minutes.
Slice thinly against the grain.
Arrange on a serving platter and spoon the Caprese mixture generously over the top.
Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and serve immediately.
