1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place flank steak in a resealable bag and pour marinade over it. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Ensure grates are clean and lightly oiled.
3. Grill the Steak: Remove steak from marinade, shaking off excess liquid. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
4. Create Caprese Topping: While grilling, combine mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
5. Slice the Steak: Remove steak from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
6. Assemble: Serve topped with the mozzarella-tomato-basil mixture.
