Grilled Watermelon Steak with Warm Goat Cheese & Pomegranate Pearls
Ingredients:
For the watermelon:
- 4 thick slices of watermelon (about 1–1.5 inch thick, rind removed)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the warm goat cheese:
- 150g goat cheese
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
For topping:
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions:
Pat the watermelon slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Brush both sides with olive oil and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the watermelon for 2–3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and the texture slightly firms.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine goat cheese, heavy cream, honey, and thyme. Stir until warm and creamy.
Transfer the grilled watermelon steaks to a serving plate.
Spoon the warm goat cheese over the top of each slice.
Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Garnish with fresh mint if desired and serve immediately.
