Grilled Skirt Steak with Watermelon Salsa
Description
This recipe features skirt steak seasoned simply with cumin, sea salt, and black pepper before being grilled over medium-high heat to medium-rare, locking in juices and providing a slight char. The cooking time of about 4 to 5 minutes per side maintains tenderness characteristic of skirt steak.
The watermelon salsa combines diced watermelon, jalapeno (with seeds removed to control heat), fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice, seasoned with salt to taste. This salsa offers sweet, tart, and mildly spicy notes that complement the rich, savory steak.
Served together, this dish balances protein and fresh fruit components, making it ideal for outdoor grilling menus or light dinners. The salsa adds moisture and brightness, offsetting the steak's smoky flavor.
