Description
Balsamic Grilled Flank Steak Caprese brings bold flavor with a delicious combination of marinated flank steak, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the flank steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Toss gently to mix.
- Serve the sliced steak topped with the Caprese mixture and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Notes
- For added flavor, try marinating the steak with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- Serve the steak over a bed of arugula or spinach for a fresh salad twist.
