How To Make Watermelon Steak
Make a truly unique vegan steak with this watermelon steak recipe. The fresh fruit completely transforms into a smoky, chewy main dish.
Ingredients
- ½ watermelon, large, seedless
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp liquid smoke
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
For Garnish:
- balsamic reduction
- feta cheese, crumbled
- fresh mint, chopped
Instructions
-
Cut watermelon in half lengthwise. Place flat side down, and cut 1½-inch wide slice. Cut the largest rectangle possible from each of these slices. There should be about 6 steaks from ½ of a watermelon.
-
Pat each of the steaks dry with paper towels. If time permits, place them in the refrigerator uncovered for 1 to 2 hours to dry out excess moisture. Give them a final pat right before preparing.
-
Whisk together oil liquid smoke, garlic, salt, and pepper. Liberally brush on both sides of watermelon steaks.
-
Lightly grease a large saute pan over low/medium. Gently slide each steak in, cooking for about 5 minutes on each side. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook each side for one minute, or until lightly browned.
-
Serve warm, topped with balsamic reduction, feta, and mint.
