Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, herbs, and garlic to a resealable plastic bag. Pat the strip steak dry and place the steak in the marinade. Reseal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Brush the grill grates with oil or grill spray. Preheat a gas grill with the burners on High and the lid closed for 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess drip off; discard the marinade. Place the steak directly on the grill grates over High heat. Sear with the lid closed for 2 to 3 minutes per side, rotating the steak 45 degrees halfway through cooking on each side for crosshatch grill marks.

Move the steak to indirect heat and cook to your preferred doneness, 1 to 2 minutes per side for a rare strip steak or 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.

Quarter the mozzarella pearls and cherry tomatoes, and slice the basil leaves into very thin strips. Place the topping on the steak and drizzle with balsamic glaze to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
