Main Ingredients

1 pound Flank steak Choose a high-quality cut for best flavor.
1 cup Cherry tomatoes Halved or left whole depending on preference.
8 ounces Mozzarella balls Bocconcini or ciliegine are great options.
1 cup Fresh basil Use whole leaves for best flavor.
¼ cup Balsamic glaze Store-bought or homemade.
2 tablespoons Olive oil Extra virgin is preferred.
to taste Salt Use sea salt for seasoning.
to taste Pepper Freshly cracked is best.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Season the flank steak thoroughly with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

Grill the flank steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Assembly

On a serving platter, arrange the sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and fresh basil.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.

Notes

For variations, consider grilling the cherry tomatoes for a smoky flavor or swap mozzarella for burrata or feta cheese. Pair with a refreshing side salad or crusty bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
