Ingredients
  

For the Flank Steak Marinade
  • 1 lb flank steak For marinating and grilling.
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar For marinade.
  • ¼ cup olive oil For marinade.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced For flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Caprese Topping
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved Fresh for topping.
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced For topping.
  • Fresh basil leaves To garnish.
  • Balsamic glaze for drizzling Store-bought or homemade.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Place your flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal it tight and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Grilling
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high. If using charcoal, light it up to get the coals nice and hot.
  2. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and shake off the excess.
  3. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
  4. Once grilled, take it off the heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  5. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
Assembly
  1. On a platter, arrange the sliced steak, then top it off with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella slices, and fresh basil leaves.
  2. Drizzle some balsamic glaze on top before serving.

Notes

If you don’t have a grill, use a grill pan on the stovetop. Marinating overnight will enhance the flavor.
