Preparing the ingredients. Cut centimetre-thick discs out of a
watermelon. Take a large ring and cut circles out of the discs. Do the
same with a pineapple and with smaller rings, a kiwi and a mango.
Peel and remove the pit from an avocado and cut the flesh into
slices. Soak them in lemon juice. Halve a few plantains but leave
them in the skin. Peel large onions and cut them into slices one
centimetre thick.
Remove most of the greenery from a bunch of spring onions and
remove the root threads. Peel a few carrots and cut them lengthways
into strips. Wash a bunch of lamb's lettuce. Drain a handful of semi-
dried tomatoes in oil. Bring a steak to room temperature. Heat a
contact grill.
Vinaigrette. Make a vinaigrette of about equal quantities of mustard,
olive oil, red balsamic vinegar, sweet soy sauce and ketchup. Mix to
a homogeneous mass with a immersion blender or other suitable
kitchen appliance.
Preparation. Grill all the fruit and vegetables separately in the
contact grill until a grill pattern becomes visible. Keep the grilled
ingredients, covered, warm in an oven at 85°C. Rub a steak, sirloin
type, with pepper and salt. Grill for 4 minutes in the contact grill,
without opening it. Let the steak rest for a few minutes, covered.
Then cut the meat into strips with an electric knife.
Finish off. Take a preheated serving plate and place a heap of
lamb's lettuce in the middle. Put the other ingredients on top
according to your own insight and inspiration. Garnish with the
vinaigrette and basil sprigs.
