Ingredients
1.5 pounds flank steak

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey

3. In a small saucepan, simmer balsamic vinegar and honey over medium-low heat until thickened and reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
4. Slice mozzarella and tomatoes. Arrange on a platter with steak slices and basil leaves tucked in between.
5. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the platter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
