This dish combines smoky, savory steak with bright, juicy watermelon and a crisp, peppery greens base. The meat adds depth and a satisfying richness, while the watermelon brings hydration and a playful sweetness that lightens every bite.
Lightly season the steak and let it come to room temperature for even cooking.
Preheat your air fryer, then cook the steak until it reaches your preferred doneness, flipping once for even browning. Let the steak rest briefly before slicing thinly.
Brush the watermelon slices lightly with olive oil and grill on high heat just until grill marks appear and the flesh firms up.
Start with a fresh bed of greens on your plates, then scatter grilled watermelon chunks and sliced steak over the top.
Toss gently with a simple dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, and salt to keep everything cohesive.
Notes
Tip: You can prep components in advance and assemble shortly before serving to keep the texture and freshness intact.
