Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the flank steak by combining olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper in a zip-top bag. Add flank steak, coat well, seal, and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400°F to 450°F). Ensure grates are clean and oiled.
  3. Grill the marinated flank steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it reaches 130-135°F for medium-rare.
  4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  5. Prepare the Caprese salad by combining halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, chopped basil, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl; toss gently.
  6. Slice the rested flank steak thinly against the grain, aiming for 1/4-inch thick slices.
  7. Arrange the sliced steak on a platter with the Caprese salad, drizzle balsamic glaze over the top, and garnish with fresh basil.
