Caprese Steak

What's better than steak? Steak covered in cheese, tomato, basil, and balsamic vinegar!

Every time we have steak for dinner, I wish we ate it every single day. At the same time, I'm glad we don't because one, OUCH, my wallet - and two, then it wouldn't be so special when we did have steak. I would never say no to a regular steak with salt, pepper, and butter, but I also love trying new things and I was definitely sold on the caprese idea.

Steak is steak, but when you add cheese?! That's a match made in heaven right there. Throw a little tomato and basil with it and it's gonna be the very best steak you've ever had!

The caprese flavor combination is one of my favorites and I love to use it as much as possible, like in this Cheesy Caprese Chicken and Pesto Quinoa Casserole. If you are wanting to splurge a little, this Caprese Grilled Filet Mignon from Cupcakes and Kale Chips is the perfect fancy dinner!
