Fire up the grill for this summery steak dinner!
Sweet watermelon salsa perfectly complements the savory grilled steak.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lbs (454 g) skirt steak
  • 1 cups (237 ml) watermelon
  • 1 tbsp jalapeno
  • 1/2 lime
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high (approximately 375-400°F or 190-204°C).
  2. Season skirt steak on both sides with cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place skirt steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  4. Make the salsa: Toss watermelon, jalapeños, and cilantro with a squeeze of lime.
  5. Add salt to taste.

Notes

  • For optimal tenderness, thinly slice the skirt steak against the grain after grilling.
  • If you don’t have fresh jalapeño, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.
  • Store leftover steak and salsa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
