By á-114869

Ingredients

• 5 limes -juiced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
• 6 Tablespoons chopped cilantro/ corriander leaves
• 10 Mint leaves
• 8 ounces thinly sliced (1/2 inch thick) steak
• 1 small red onion
• 2 1-inch watermelon slices (you want about twice as much watermelon as steak)
• 6 cups baby spinach
• Olive oil for the grill (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

(1) Make the marinade - add lime juice, sea salt, avocado oil and cilantro/ corriander to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
(2) Make the dressing - pour 1/2 of the marinade out and set aside. Add mint leaves to what's remaining in the blender and blend to make dressing. Set aside.
(3) Marinate the steak - place the steak and marinade in a bag and place in the fridge for about 1 hour. (or you could do this in the morning for a quick dinner prep).
(4) Prep watermelon & onion - thinly slice the onion and take the watermelon off the rind and remove any seeds and cut into pieces you can easily turn with tongs
(5) Heat the grill (or indoor grill pan). If using an indoor grill pan you may need to rub the pan with some oil
(6) Place the steak, onion slices and watermelon slices on the grill and brush all of them with excess marinade. Watermelon and onion should cook about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from grill.
(7) Cook steak to your desired doneness. Timing will vary depending on the thickness of the steak. (Thin steaks should cook in about 3 minutes per side). For more information on grilling steaks, see this article from food network.
(8) Remove steak and allow it to rest.
(9) Plate the salad- fill a large bowl or platter with baby spinach, cut the watermelon into 1 inch cubes and place on the salad, divide the onion into rings and add to salad, slice the rested steak into strips and add to the salad, drizzle with dressing you made earlier.
