Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the flank steak dry using paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil and minced garlic. Add a pinch of salt, then rub the marinade all over the steak.
  3. Let the marinated steak rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the grill to high heat (450-500°F) and ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  5. Place the marinated flank steak on the hot grill and grill for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  7. In a large bowl, toss sliced tomatoes with balsamic glaze and olive oil until lightly coated.
  8. Tear mozzarella into pieces, add to the bowl with tomatoes, and fold in fresh basil. Drizzle with remaining balsamic glaze and olive oil.
  9. Slice the grilled flank steak against the grain and arrange on a platter alongside the Caprese salad.
