Grilled Steak and Watermelon

Grilled Steak and Watermelon

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. sirloin (about 1 inch thick)
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb. cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small seedless watermelon (about 3 lbs)
  • 1 c. fresh mint, leaves torn
  • 1 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 small bunch arugula, thick stems discarded

 Directions

  1. Heat grill to medium-high. Season steak with ½ tsp each salt and pepper and grill to desired doneness (6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oil, honey, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Fold in onion and tomatoes.
  3. Cut watermelon into ½-inch-thick triangles and cut off rinds. Brush lightly with oil, then grill until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Divide among 4 plates.
  4. Fold herbs into tomato mixture, then gently toss with arugula. Spoon on top of watermelon and serve with steak.
