GRILLED U.S. BEEF STEAK AND WATERMELON SALAD

Ingredients:

  • 4 beef Tenderloin Steaks, cut 2.5cm thick (about 113g to 141g each)
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 slices seedless baby watermelon, 2.5cm thick (about 0.5kg each)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 cups baby arugula or spinach leaves
  • ¼ cup reduced-fat balsamic or Italian dressing
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ¼ cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

Preparation:

1.    Combine coriander and cumin; press evenly onto beef steaks.

2.    Place steaks in center of grid over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange watermelon slices around steak. Grill steaks, covered, 10 to 14 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 11 to 15 minutes) for medium rare (163°C) to medium (71°C) doneness, turning occasionally. Grill watermelon 2 to 4 minutes or until grill marks form, turning once.

3.    Carve steaks into slices. Cut each watermelon slice into 6 wedges. Season beef and watermelon with salt and pepper, as desired. Combine arugula and dressing in large bowl; toss to coat. Divide arugula among four serving plates. Arrange beef and watermelon on salad; top evenly with tomatoes, onion and cheese.
