Grilled Flank Steak with Caprese Salad

INGREDIENTS:

– 1 lb flank steak
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
– 8 oz fresh mozzarella, diced
– 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
– 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1/4 cup olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the flank steak generously with salt and pepper.
2. Place the seasoned flank steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. Once done, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
3. While the steak rests, mix together the halved cherry tomatoes, diced mozzarella, and chopped basil leaves in a large bowl.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Pour this dressing over the tomato and mozzarella mixture, tossing gently to combine.
5. After the flank steak has rested, slice it against the grain. Serve it topped with the Caprese salad and drizzle with additional balsamic dressing if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
