Ingredients

½ cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 1-inch thick ribeye steaks
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
½ small seedless watermelon rind removed, cut into thick wedges
½ cup blue cheese dressing
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
2 green onions thinly sliced on bias
8 fresh mint or basil leaves thinly sliced plus additional sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Heat grill to high.
In small saucepan, over high heat, combine, wine, honey and Worcestershire sauce. Bring sauce mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency; set aside.
Season steaks on both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Place steaks on hot, lightly greased grill rack. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per side creating well-browned grill marks. Reduce heat to medium. Grill steaks, 3 to 4 minutes more or until medium-rare (125 degrees on an instant read thermometer). Transfer steaks to plate; cover with foil and let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, season watermelon with salt and pepper; place on lightly greased grill rack for 2 minutes per side or until charred grill marks begin to form.
Arrange steaks and watermelon on serving plates.
Drizzle blue cheese dressing over watermelon.
Drizzle wine sauce over steaks.
Sprinkle with green onions, herbs and blue cheese.
Garnish with fresh herb sprigs.

Notes

Take the chill off your steak by removing it from the fridge 30 minutes before grill time. It will cook more evenly.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels to avoid steaming the meat.
Crank your grill up to HIGH. Lightly grease the grate.
For gorgeous grill marks and delicious caramelized flavor follow the 10-2 rule of grilling (see recipe for explanation).
Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
