Instructions
Preheat a grill to 450 degrees F. Allow steaks to come to room temperature.
In a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the mojo sauce and blend until well combined. Set aside.
Cut melon into thin slices and remove the rind. Wrap each piece in prosciutto and set aside.
Season steaks generously on both sides with salt and pepper. If steak has little marbling or fat, add a touch of olive oil. Grill steaks over direct heat for 5 minutes on one side and flip grilling an additional 3 minutes for medium rare or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135 degrees F. Remove from the grill and let rest 10 minutes.
After the steaks have been removed, sear the melon wrapped prosciutto on the grill until grill marks are made and prosciutto is cooked. About 2 minutes per side.
To serve, slice the steak against the grain into thin slices, served topped with mojo sauce and melon on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
steak servings: 1/2 lb to 8oz is an idea serving per person when pairing steak with a side.
