Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds Juicy steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank) Choose your preferred cut of steak.
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese Can substitute with burrata or dairy-free options.
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes Consider using heirloom tomatoes for enhanced flavor.
- 1/4 cup Balsamic glaze
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil For brushing the steak.
- 1 teaspoon Salt To taste.
- 1 teaspoon Pepper To taste.
- 1 cup Fresh basil For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill on medium-high heat.
- Brush the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Grilling
- Place the steak on the grill, cooking until it reaches your desired doneness (about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare).
- For the last few minutes, add cherry tomatoes to the grill until they are slightly charred.
Serving
- Once the steak is cooked, let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
- On a serving platter, layer the sliced steak with fresh mozzarella, roasted cherry tomatoes, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top just before serving.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The grilled steak will last for about 3-4 days. For best quality, enjoy tomatoes and mozzarella within a week.
