Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak Marinade

  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Caprese Topping

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (ciliegine, drained)
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves (chopped or torn)
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Marinate the Flank Steak:
    • Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper.
    • Marinate: Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 2–4 hours.
  • Prepare the Grill:
    • Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the Steak:
    • Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Grill the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130–135°F) or longer for your preferred doneness.
    • Rest the Steak: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
  • Prepare the Caprese Topping:
    • Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, toss cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and fresh basil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and gently toss to combine.
  • Assemble and Serve:
    • Slice the Steak: Slice the steak thinly against the grain for tenderness.
    • Top with Caprese: Arrange steak slices on a serving platter and spoon the Caprese topping over the steak. Drizzle with extra balsamic glaze if desired.

Notes

  • Grilling Time: Grill time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for accuracy.
  • Toppings: You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the Caprese topping for extra flavor.
  • Marinate Longer: For even more flavor, marinate the steak for up to 6 hours, but no longer than that to avoid the vinegar breaking down the meat too much.
