- 8 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cup chopped parsley leaves (about 1/2 bunch)
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 (1-inch) thick rib-eye steaks
Smokey poblano cream sauce:
- 2 large poblanos
- 1/2 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
- 2 limes, zested and juiced
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Watermelon salad:
- 1 (5-pound) watermelon, peeled, sliced and seeds removed
- 1 carton raspberries
- 1 cup chopped fresh coconut
- 4 ounces feta, crumbled
- 1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Vanilla salt
- Pinch cayenne
- 1 cup chopped mint leaves
Fig balsamic glazed onions:
- 1 red onion, sliced thick
- 1 cup dried mission figs, halved
- 2 cups balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- Olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
For the rib-eye:
Combine all the ingredients and spread half over the top of steaks. Put plastic wrap over steaks and flip to coat other side with remaining gremolata. Wrap and let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour. (Also can be done using a plastic resealable bag.) Flip steaks once while marinating.
Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove to a serving platter and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
For the cream sauce:
Grill poblano peppers until they are charred and soft. Remove to a cutting board and chop. Add them to a blender along with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth
Transfer to a serving bowl.
For the salad:
Place watermelon slices on the grill until they get nice char marks. Remove to a cutting board and chop. Place the watermelon into a large bowl and add the raspberries, coconut and crumbled feta. In another bowl whisk the onion, vinegar, olive oil, vanilla salt, and cayenne to combine. Pour over the watermelon mixture, add mint, and toss.
For the onions:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the figs, balsamic vinegar and chili flakes. Simmer until it reduces by 1/3, then strain the vinegar into a medium bowl. Add the onions and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and let marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place on the grill for a few minutes to char each side.
Serve rib-eyes with cream sauce, salad and glazed onions.

Made this steak for a dinner party I threw for 12, all good cooks, and they unanimously flipped for it. Now it is the only marinade I use on any meat, sometimes I through in a couple of shakes of champagne vinegar as well.
Good Job!

It looked so great on the show that I had to try out the watermelon salad for guests...the watermelon grilled up nicely and all the ingredients meshed well BUT I made it about an hour before my company came (I used this for my veggie dish and it got to be a soggy mess from all the watermelon juice that I had to throw it out...luckily I made a green salad too. The flavors were good together but next time I will try a drier fruit like peaches.
