Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1.5 lbs ribeye or sirloin steak

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place the steak in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Place it on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness.
  4. Add Toppings: In the last minute of grilling, place slices of fresh mozzarella on top of the steak. Close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Top with sliced cherry tomatoes and fresh basil before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Always let your steak rest after grilling to ensure it remains juicy.
  • Use the freshest herbs and tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness—135°F for medium-rare.
  • Longer marinating time enhances flavor, but avoid over-marinating as it can change the texture.
  • Don’t move the steak too much while grilling; let it sear to achieve beautiful grill marks.
