Description
A delicious and flavorful grilled steak topped with a fresh Caprese salad and a balsamic dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Season the flank steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the tomato mixture and toss gently.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Serve the steak topped with the Caprese mixture and drizzle with any remaining balsamic dressing.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, try marinating the steak in the balsamic mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- For a lighter option, substitute the mozzarella with avocado slices for a fresh twist.
