Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak2 tablespoons olive oil2 cloves garlic minced1 teaspoon Dijon mustardSalt and pepper, to taste1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, seal, and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill the steak for 5–7 minutes per side, or until it reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium doneness.
  5. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  6. In a bowl, gently combine halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and chopped basil. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
  7. Arrange the sliced steak on a serving platter, spoon the Caprese topping over the meat, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best flavor, let the steak marinate for at least 2 hours. This dish pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a side of crusty bread. If you don’t have balsamic glaze, reduce balsamic vinegar with a bit of honey until thickened.
