   For the flank steak and marinade: Whisk together the grapeseed oil, white vinegar, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice and jalapenos in a medium bowl.

2. 2

   Put the flank steak in large casserole pan, pour over the marinade and marinate, refrigerated, overnight.

   Whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Add the tomatoes, watermelon and mint and toss with the vinaigrette.

   Tap off any excess flour, and then fry the onions until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

    Allow the steak to rest before slicing against the grain into thin slices.
