Description
Tender balsamic-marinated flank steak is grilled to perfection and topped with fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, and fragrant basil for a mouthwatering Caprese twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 2 large tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and discard the marinade.

- Top steak slices with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil leaves.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning to the marinade.
