Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing your watermelon. Then, cut it into thick slices, about 2 to 3 cm (approximately 1 inch) thick. These slices will form the ‘steaks’. Ensure the thickness is consistent so they hold their shape well.
Step 2
Next, using a sharp knife, carefully score the surface of each watermelon slice with a diamond pattern. Make shallow cuts to create a crosshatch design, similar to how you might score a steak. This adds a decorative touch and helps with syrup distribution.
Step 3
Gently drizzle chocolate syrup over the scored diamond pattern on each watermelon slice. The sweetness of the chocolate syrup complements the cool, refreshing watermelon, creating a delightful flavor combination and enhancing the ‘steak’ appearance.
Step 4
Finally, artfully arrange your garnishes around and on top of the watermelon steaks to create a beautiful presentation. Add vibrant cherry tomatoes, slices of pineapple, and a nest of fresh baby greens. This not only makes the dish visually appealing but also adds contrasting textures and flavors. Feel free to add mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness!
