# Detailed Directions:
01 -
Season the flank steak evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Allow it to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
02 -
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches an even temperature for consistent cooking.
03 -
Combine balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic in a saucepan. Simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes until the mixture thickens into a glaze.
04 -
Place the flank steak on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side to achieve medium-rare doneness. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes to retain juices.
05 -
In a bowl, mix halved cherry tomatoes, sliced mozzarella, and chopped basil. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to combine.
06 -
Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain. Top with the Caprese salad mixture and drizzle generously with the balsamic glaze before serving.
# Helpful Advice:
01 -
For enhanced flavor, reduce the balsamic glaze further to intensify its taste.
02 -
Adjust grilling times according to preferred steak doneness.
03 -
Marinating the steak for 2 to 4 hours can improve tenderness and depth of flavor.
