Description
A delicious and flavorful grilled steak topped with a fresh Caprese salad.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Season the flank steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and honey.
- Place the steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the steak is resting, combine the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil in a bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve topped with the Caprese mixture.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the Caprese mixture.
- Substitute the flank steak with sirloin or ribeye for a different flavor and texture.
