Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. flank steak, halved lengthwise
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for the grill
  • 1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
  • 1 1/2 lbs. assorted small to medium tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 8 oz. ball fresh mozzarella, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Torn fresh basil, for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the flank steak between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until the thickest part is 3/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper and rub with 1 tbsp. olive oil, the rosemary and garlic. Let sit 10 minutes before grilling.

  2. Meanwhile, slice the larger tomatoes into wedges and halve the smaller tomatoes. Place in a medium bowl and add the vinegar and 2 tbsp. olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss.

  3. Oil the grill grates. Grill the steak until well marked, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.

  4. Spoon the tomatoes and their juices onto plates and add the mozzarella. Slice the steak against the grain and add to the plates. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil, season with pepper and top with basil.
