Ingredients

  • 1 lb. sirloin or strip steak
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb. cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small seedless watermelon
  • 1 cup fresh mint, leaves torn
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • Chopped, roasted unsalted peanuts, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat grill to medium-high. Season with steak with 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper and grill to desired doneness, 6-8 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, honey and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fold in the onions and tomatoes.

  3. Cut the watermelon into 1/2-inch thick triangles and cut off the rinds. Brush lightly with oil, then grill until lightly charred, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to serving plates.

  4. Fold the herbs into the tomato mixture, then spoon on top of the watermelon. Slice the steak, divide among the plates and sprinkle with peanuts.
