Description
A savory grilled flank steak topped with a fresh caprese-inspired salad and a tangy balsamic reduction, blending classic Italian flavors with hearty beef.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs flank steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Season the flank steak with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- While the steak marinates, simmer balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and chopped basil. Drizzle with a tablespoon of the balsamic reduction and toss gently.
- Arrange sliced steak on a platter, top with the caprese salad, and drizzle with the remaining balsamic reduction. Serve immediately.
