Make this flavorful grilled flank steak topped with fresh Caprese ingredients for a quick, satisfying summer dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb flank steak
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved or quartered
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or reduced balsamic vinegar)

Instructions

  1. Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, oregano, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours.
  2. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. Discard the remaining marinade.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
  4. Grill the flank steak for 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.
  5. Remove the steak from the grill and place it on a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes. This resting period is important for keeping the steak tender.
  6. While the steak rests, gently toss the halved tomatoes, mozzarella pieces, and chopped basil in a small bowl.
  7. Slice the rested flank steak thinly against the grain.
  8. Arrange the sliced steak on a serving platter. Top evenly with the fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil mixture.
  9. Drizzle the entire platter with balsamic glaze before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For an even better flavor, use a good quality balsamic vinegar for the marinade and the final glaze.
  • If you do not have a grill, you can sear the steak in a hot cast-iron skillet on the stovetop.
  • Slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness when serving this grilled flank steak recipe.
