Balsamic Caprese Grilled Steak Recipe Simple and Tasty
Ingredients
- 2 steaks ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 ball fresh mozzarella (8 oz), sliced
- 1 4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0 Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the ribeye steaks in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
- While the steak is marinating, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced mozzarella, and chopped basil in a bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place them directly on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your preferred level of doneness.
- Once grilled to your liking, transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
- After resting, slice the steak against the grain and arrange it on a serving platter. Generously top each slice with the Caprese mixture of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil.
- Drizzle any remaining balsamic marinade on top for added flavor before serving.
💡 Chef's Notes
Arrange the sliced steak on a wooden cutting board or a rustic platter, scatter additional basil leaves around the dish, and finish with a drizzle of balsamic reduction for an elegant touch.
