FAQs
Can I make Grilled Flank Steak Caprese with Balsamic Dressing ahead of time?
Yes, you can grill and slice the steak a day ahead. Store the steak and the assembled veggies separately, then combine and drizzle the glaze right before serving.
What’s the best substitute for fresh mozzarella?
Low‑moisture sliced mozzarella works fine, or you could use provolone for a slightly sharper taste.
How do I store leftovers?
Place the steak, tomatoes, and cheese in an airtight container. Keep the balsamic glaze in a small jar and add when reheating.
Why did my steak turn out dry?
Overcooking or not letting the steak rest can cause dryness. Aim for medium‑rare and always rest the meat before slicing.
