2 Atkins Ranch lamb top sirloins (8 ozs approx. ea)
1½ cups diced watermelon
½ large cucumber
¼ red onion
4 oz feta
1 clove garlic
15-20 fresh mint leaves
½ lemon
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Heat oven to 350°F. Liberally season the sirloins with salt and pepper. Heat and oil an oven-proof skillet. Sear each side of the lamb on medium for about 3 minutes. Finish cooking the lamb to medium rare in the oven for about 10 minutes. Rest the meat while you make the salad.
Cut about 1/6 watermelon into 1½ cups of bite sized chunks, and place in a large bowl. Slice ½ a cucumber lengthways into quarters and discard the seeds. Chop into bite sized diagonal chunks. Finely slice ¼ of a red onion lengthways. Add cucumber and onion to watermelon, then crumble in 4 oz of feta. Add a dozen fresh mint leaves and squeeze in the juice of ½ a lemon. Season, then drizzle the salad with the extra virgin oil and gently combine.
Once the lamb has rested, slice the meat across the grain and serve it atop the watermelon and feta salad with more fresh mint leaves, cracked pepper and a drizzle of virgin oil.
