1. Cook the Steak

• Bring the steak to room temperature and pat dry.
• Rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
• Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
• Sear steak 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) for medium-rare.
• Transfer to a plate, cover loosely, and let rest 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

2. Make the Balsamic Dressing

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and honey.
• Simmer for 3–5 minutes, until reduced slightly and syrupy.
• Whisk in olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.

3. Assemble the Caprese

• On a platter or large serving board, layer tomato slices, mozzarella slices, and fresh basil.
• Fan the steak slices over or around the Caprese layers.
• Drizzle everything generously with the balsamic glaze and a little olive oil.
• Finish with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
