Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Balsamic Grilled Flank Steak Caprese

[heart_this] · Jun 29, 2020 · 10 Comments

Balsamic Grilled Flank Steak Caprese

Balsamic grilled flank steak topped with blistered tomatoes and fresh mozzarella caprese!

Today I have an outdoor (or indoor) grilling recipe to share with you, a grilled balsamic marinated flank steak! Balsamic vinegar is a pretty tasty vinegar and it makes for a really nice dressing or marinade when combined with some simple ingredients like oil, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. The steak is pretty easy, you simply marinate it in the balsamic marinade overnight and then quickly grill it before slicing! Balsamic vinegar also goes well in caprese salad, which consists of tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella along with the vinegar and for this meal I do slight variation on it where I blister the tomatoes over the grill and serve the caprese salad on top of the grilled balsamic steak. Yum! This quick and easy balsamic grilled flak steak caprese is one of my favourite summer meals!

    Hands down my absolute favorite recipe of this past summer! I can’t wait until grilling season is back! (The only thing I don’t do is blister the tomatoes…. I just can’t stand the texture of them, but everything else is on point!)
