This juicy summer favorite looks intimidating to slice, but it doesn’t have to be! With a few simple cuts and cooking techniques, you can make the most tender and delicious watermelon steaks.

• Rinse and wipe your watermelon to clean and remove the wax coating.

• Strawberries
• Blackberries
• Apples
• Pears
• Bananas
• Cherries
• Grapefruit

Picking the perfect fruit can make all the difference to the flavor and texture of your dish, so make sure you shop with care.

8. Saving Money: Cooking Up Watermelon Steak on a Budget

If you’ve got the skills, you can save big by cooking up a delicious meal at home. Watermelon steak might sound bizarre, but it’s earned its name as an inexpensive, unique dish. In terms of flavor, watermelon steak is surprisingly similar to beef steak, and you can dress up your “steak” with a variety of herbs and seasonings.

Here’s how to cook watermelon steak on a budget:

• Pick your watermelon. Choose a ripe watermelon with bright yellow spots, firm skin and a good weight for its size. Avoid watermelons with cracks or bruises.
• Cut your watermelon. Cut into thick slices, about 2 to 3 inches thick. Cut off the rind by shaving it off in strips.
• Prep your “steak.” Use your knife to score the top of the watermelon in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut too deep. Flip it over and score the bottom too.
• Grill or bake. Place the steak in a greased baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Alternatively, place it on the grill and cook it for 4 minutes on each side.
• Enjoy. Serve with your favorite seasonings and herbs. A few sprigs of basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper work perfectly.

Feel free to get creative with your watermelon steak – with a little imagination and some kitchen savvy, you can turn this inexpensive summer staple into a gourmet item!
