Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).

- Wash cherry tomatoes and pat them dry.
- Gather fresh basil leaves.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned steak on the preheated grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until your desired doneness.
- During the last 10 minutes of cooking, place the cherry tomatoes on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzling lightly with salt and pepper, and fold the foil to create a pouch.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.

- Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the top.
Serving

Notes
Let your grilled steak rest longer for juicier slices; consider marinating your steak for improved flavor. Store cooked steak in an airtight container for up to four days.
