Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by slicing the watermelon into thick steak-like slices, approximately 1-inch in thickness. Place the watermelon steaks on a paper towel-lined plate to help absorb excess moisture.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
-
Place the watermelon steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the watermelon steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid.
-
Carefully place the watermelon steaks on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the watermelon is slightly caramelized.
-
Once cooked, remove the watermelon steaks from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the steaks and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness.
-
Serve the Picanha De Melancia Watermelon Steaks warm and enjoy the unique combination of sweet and savory flavors that will delight your taste buds with every bite.
