- 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 T. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. honey
- 1 lg. clove garlic pressed
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper

Instructions
- BALSAMIC MARINADE: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place the flank steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Cover the dish and marinate 6-8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. (Alternately, you could marinate the steak in a zip-top bag.)
- FLANK STEAK CAPRESE: Shake off the excess marinade and grill over medium-high heat until cooked to the desired level of doneness, about 3-5 minutes per side, before setting aside to rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice the steak against the grain.
- Meanwhile, grill the cherry tomatoes in a basket or blister in a hot skillet until lightly charred, about 3-5 minutes.
- TO ASSEMBLE: Arrange the steak slices on a serving board or platter. Top with the blistered tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and basil ribbons. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately with garlic butter crostini.
