Ingredients

Scale

For the Flank Steak:

  • 1 ½ lbs (680 g) flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Toppings:

  • 8 oz (225 g) burrata cheese
  • ½ cup (120 g) fresh basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
  • Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Marinate the steak:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Rub the marinade evenly over the steak, place it in a zip-top bag or dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

2. Grill the steak:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or longer, depending on your desired doneness).
  • Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.

3. Assemble the dish:

  • Place slices of flank steak on a serving platter.
  • Tear the burrata and place dollops over the steak.
  • Drizzle pesto generously over the steak and burrata.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves, crushed red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, if desired.

4. Serve:

  • Serve warm with roasted vegetables, grilled bread, or a fresh arugula salad.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, brush the steak with pesto during the last few minutes of grilling.
  • You can substitute flank steak with skirt steak or flat iron steak if preferred.
  • Make it dairy-free by skipping the burrata and using a dairy-free pesto alternative.
