Ingredients
1 lb flank steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Steak
Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, turning to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 1–4 hours.
Preheat the Grill
Heat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Grill the Steak
Grill steak for 5–7 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Rest and Slice
Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
Prepare the Caprese Topping
In a bowl, gently combine cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and chopped basil.
Assemble and Serve
Arrange sliced steak on a platter, top with the Caprese mixture, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.
Notes
Marinate longer for deeper flavor.
For extra smokiness, grill over charcoal.
Dairy-free mozzarella alternatives work well if needed.
