Ingredienser
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Place the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are evenly combined but not overworked.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into an oval steak about 1 inch thick.
  • Preheat a grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
  • Lay one slice of mozzarella on each steak during the last minute of cooking so it melts.
  • While the steaks finish, combine the cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and toss gently.
  • Remove the steaks from the grill and spoon the tomato basil mixture over the melted mozzarella before serving.

Form the steaks with a slight dimple in the center so they stay flat while grilling. If the mozzarella slides, let it melt fully before adding the topping. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over low heat with the tomato mixture spooned on top to keep the meat from drying out.
