Ingredients

Scale

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved

Instructions

  • Marinate the Steak: Place the steak in a resealable bag, pour the marinade, and refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
  • Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high.
  • Grill the Steak: Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on doneness. Use a thermometer for accuracy.
  • Rest and Slice: Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  • Assemble the Dish: Arrange steak slices on a platter, top with Caprese mix, and drizzle balsamic glaze. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate longer for more intense flavor.
  • For added smokiness, grill over charcoal.
  • Substitute mozzarella with a dairy-free alternative if needed.
