Grilled Flank Steak with Balsamic Caprese Twist recipe


  • Author: Caroline

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill:

    • Set your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it’s ready for the steak.

  2. Season the Flank Steak:

    • Generously season the flank steak with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavors.

  3. Grill the Flank Steak:

    • Place the seasoned steak on the grill. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish.
    • Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy bite.

  4. Prepare the Caprese Mixture:

    • In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced mozzarella, and chopped fresh basil.
    • Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper. Toss the mixture gently to combine.

  5. Slice the Flank Steak:

    • Slice the rested flank steak against the grain. Slicing against the grain ensures that the meat is tender and easy to chew.

  6. Serve:

    • Plate the sliced steak and generously top with the Caprese mixture.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.
