Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
1. Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Let it rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until blistered, about 4–6 minutes. Set aside.
3. Preheat grill to high heat. Brush the grates with olive oil.
4. Grill the steak for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it reaches your desired doneness (130–135°F for medium-rare).
5. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes under foil.
6. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
7. In a bowl, gently toss the mozzarella, blistered tomatoes, and fresh basil with a touch of olive oil and salt.
8. Arrange the steak on a platter and top with the Caprese mixture.
9. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure to slice the steak against the grain for tenderness.
Let the steak rest after grilling to keep it juicy.
Use high-quality balsamic glaze or reduce your own for the best flavor.
