Quick to prepare and cook, this steak caprese offers a delightful balance of savory and fresh ingredients, ideal for a satisfying and elegant meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb Ribeye, Sirloin, or Filet Mignon (Choose according to preference)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (Essential for grilling)
  • 1 tsp Salt (To taste)
  • 1 tsp Pepper (To taste)

Caprese Salad

  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (Fresh and vibrant)
  • 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella Balls (Use pearls for easy handling)
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil (Torn or julienned for flavor)
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Glaze (Quality thick glaze recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness and desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check – 130°F for medium-rare.
  4. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. This step ensures a juicy and tender steak.
  5. Assemble Caprese Salad: While the steak rests, in a bowl combine cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and torn basil leaves. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and gently toss to combine.
  6. Slice and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Plate it alongside or on top of the caprese salad. Drizzle extra balsamic glaze if desired for added flavor and garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

  • Choose a good quality balsamic glaze to enhance the flavor.
  • Letting the steak rest after grilling is crucial for juicy results.
  • Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes and mozzarella pearls for the best texture and taste.
  • Adjust seasoning on the salad with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm steak and cool caprese salad.
