- 0.5 tsp Black pepper (Freshly ground.)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil (For seasoning the steak.)
For the topping
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes (Ripe, for best flavor.)
- 0.5 cup Basil, fresh (Chopped.)

Instructions
Preparation

- Season the flank steak with salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
Cooking
- Grill the flank steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
