Ingredients
Ingredients for Marinade:
- 1½ pounds flank steak
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 large tomatoes, sliced

Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag, pour the marinade over it, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Grill the Steak: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 4–6 minutes per side until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Assemble: Arrange the sliced steak on a platter, top with tomato slices, mozzarella, and fresh basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
Notes
- You can make a quick balsamic glaze by simmering balsamic vinegar until reduced by half.
- This dish pairs well with grilled vegetables or a fresh arugula salad.
