Grilled Flank Steak With Mozzarella And Basil Recipes

CAPRESE SALAD WITH GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Mix tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl; toss to coat. Cover bowl and refrigerate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place steak in a large resealable bag; add 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and distribute the oil mixture over the steak.
• Cook the steak on the preheated grill to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain.
• Divide lettuce onto 4 serving plates; drizzle about 1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar and 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil onto each lettuce portion. Top each salad with 1/4 the steak and 1/4 the tomato mixture.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH PEPERONATA

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium high. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, the mustard, thyme and 1 grated garlic clove in a bowl. Rub all over the steak and season with salt and pepper; set aside. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining grated garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
• Toss the red onion and peppers with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill the vegetables, flipping, until lightly charred and tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and the red pepper flakes. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
• Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the steak until browned, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest. Meanwhile, toast the bread on the grill. Remove and cut into pieces; brush the cut sides with the garlic oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Stir the mint into the pepper mixture. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve with the peppers and garlic bread.
