4 oz fresh mozzarella balls
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tbsp balsamic glaze
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions

2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill steak for 4–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
3. Toss cherry tomatoes with oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 3–4 minutes until blistered.
4. Let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
5. Arrange steak on a platter. Top with grilled tomatoes and mozzarella balls.
6. Sprinkle with fresh basil and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
Notes
Grill the steak to medium-rare or medium for best texture and flavor.
Use a thick balsamic reduction for the richest, stickiest glaze.
