"Savor the taste of summer with this quick and healthy family favorite!"



🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  

1. 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced  
2. 1 teaspoon garlic powder  
3. 1 teaspoon dried oregano  
4. 1 ½ pounds flank steak  
5. 1 teaspoon honey  
6. ½ teaspoon black pepper  
7. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved  
8. 1 tablespoon olive oil  
9. 1 cup fresh basil leaves  
10. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard  
11. ¼ cup balsamic vinegar  
12. 2 tablespoons olive oil  
13. 1 teaspoon salt  



🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  

1. Marinate the Steak: Pat the flank steak dry using paper towels. Rub it with olive oil and evenly season with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit and marinate for 15-20 minutes.  
   
2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until it’s smooth and well combined. Set aside for later.  

3. Preheat the Grill: Before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F/200°C). Don’t forget to lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking!  

4. Grill the Steak: Place the marinated flank steak on the grill. Cook it for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness (use a thermometer to hit 135°F/57°C for medium-rare). Once done, remove the steak and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.  

5. Slice and Assemble: Slice the steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Arrange the steak slices on a serving platter, layering them with the fresh mozzarella slices and halved cherry tomatoes. Tuck the fresh basil leaves between the layers for a pop of color and flavor.  

6. Dress and Serve: Drizzle the balsamic dressing generously over the layered steak caprese. Serve immediately and enjoy every bite!
