- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 large clove garlic, minced/grated

Directions
For the balsamic marinade/dressing:
- Mix everything well.
For the steak caprese:
- Marinate the steak in half of the marinade in the fridge overnight.
- Shake off the excess marinade and grill over medium-high heat until cooked to the desired level of doneness, about 3-5 minutes per side, before setting aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Grill the cherry tomatoes until lightly charred, about 3-5 minutes. (Or blister them in a heavy bottom skillet on the stovetop at medium-high heat.)
