Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 lean flank steak (1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 cup diced plum tomatoes
- 1/3 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Directions
Whisk together vinegar and oil in medium glass bowl. Place steak in shallow bowl; spread with garlic. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper over steak. Spoon 2 tablespoons vinegar mixture over top of steak. Marinate in refrigerator at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Prepare grill for direct cooking or preheat broiler. Add tomatoes, olives, basil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar mixture in glass bowl; mix well. Set aside.
Drain steak; discard marinade. Let garlic remain on steak. Place steak on grid over medium-hot coals. Grill 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
Transfer steak to carving board. Tent with foil; let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices. Serve with tomato salsa mixture.
