Balsamic Caprese Grilled Flank Steak


Balsamic Caprese Grilled Flank Steak

Ingredients:

For the steak:

  • 1.5 to 2 pounds flank steak
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the caprese topping:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine), halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped or torn
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (or more to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the steak:
    • In a bowl or resealable bag, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
    • Add the flank steak and coat it well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
  2. Preheat the grill:
    • Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the steak:
    • Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess drip off.
    • Grill for 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time based on your preferred doneness.
    • Remove from grill and let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
  4. Prepare the caprese topping:
    • In a medium bowl, mix cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper.
  5. Serve:
    • Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain.
    • Spoon the caprese topping over the steak.
    • Drizzle with extra balsamic glaze if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Great with grilled vegetables, garlic bread, or a simple arugula salad.
  • Can also be served on a toasted baguette for a steak caprese sandwich.
