Description
A flavorful recipe for Balsamic Caprese Grilled Flank Steak, perfect for a summer barbecue.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the flank steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- While the steak is resting, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced mozzarella, and chopped basil in a bowl.
- Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips and serve topped with the Caprese mixture.
Notes
- For added flavor, try marinating the steak overnight.
- You can substitute the flank steak with skirt steak or sirloin for a different texture.
