GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALSA



Grilled Tuna Steaks with Roasted Corn and Tomato Salsa image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ears of corn, husks removed
2 red bell peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, coarsely chopped, plus 1 teaspoon of their oil
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
3 to 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
4 tuna steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds) cut 3/4-inch thick
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • First make the salsa. Preheat the broiler. While it is heating, prepare the corn. Holding each ear upright, cut off the kernels with a sharp knife. Heat a large heavy-based skillet or frying pan without any fat over high heat until almost smoking. Add the kernels and dry-roast until tender, smoky and dark, tossing continuously as they tend to stick, 4 to 5 minutes. Cook the peppers under the broiler, turning them until the skin chars and bursts, 7 to 10 minutes. Put them in a plastic bag and leave to sweat and cool so the skins loosen. Peel the peppers, discarding cores and seeds. Dice the flesh.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and saute until soft but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Take the pan from the heat and stir in the roasted corn, chopped tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, diced peppers, vinegar and remaining oil. Heat, stirring, until hot. Take from the heat and keep warm.
  • Rinse fish steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Brush with half the oil, season with salt and pepper and set on oiled grill pan or grill. Broil 3 to 4 minutes. Turn steaks over, brush with the remaining oil and grill until done to taste, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, stir the cilantro and lime juice into the salsa, taste and adjust seasoning. Make a bed of salsa on 4 warmed plates and place a tuna steak on top of each. Serve at once.

GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS WITH CORN AND PEPPER SALSA



Grilled Sea Scallops With Corn and Pepper Salsa image

These summery grilled scallops are served with a kicky corn salsa, made bright green with puréed raw tomatillos, punched up with jalapeño and lime. Look for dry-packed or diver scallops, which means they are quite fresh (and haven't been dipped in a solution of sodium bisulphite, a commonly used preservative). Large scallops, about 2 ounces each, are ideal for grilling or pan-searing. Serve with small boiled potatoes.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, quick, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 medium tomatillos, husks removed, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
1 jalapeño, seeds and veins removed to lessen heat if desired
2 large ears fresh sweet corn, kernels removed (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 medium sweet red bell peppers, or a mixture of colors, finely diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons lime juice
Salt to taste
12 large sea scallops (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Lime wedges, for garnish
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal fire for grilling (or use a ridged stovetop grill pan).
  • Make the salsa: Place the tomatillos and jalapeño in a blender or food processor and pulse to make a rough purée. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in corn, bell peppers, onion and lime juice. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let salsa rest for a few minutes, then taste and adjust salt.
  • Season sea scallops with salt and pepper on both sides and drizzle with olive oil. Rub with fingers to distribute and coat scallops with seasoning.
  • When the grill is medium hot, set the scallops on it in a single layer. Leave for 3 minutes, until well browned. (It's O.K. to lift an edge to peek, but don't try to turn the scallops until they have colored well or they'll stick to the grill.) When they are nicely crisped and browned turn each scallop with tongs and cook for another 3 minutes, until cooked through.
  • Transfer scallops to a serving platter and spoon some salsa over them. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs. Pass the salsa at the table.

2 tablespoons lime juice, (about 2 limes), plus lime wedges
1/2 cup white tequila
1/4 cup triple sec (recommended: Cointreau)
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup Habanero Simple Syrup or to taste, recipe follows
For Habanero Simple Syrup:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 habanero chili

Steps:

  • Salsa Preparation: Preheat a grill pan. Brush corn with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt. Place on grill and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove from grill and using a VIVA® paper towel, hold the ear of corn upright in a bowl and cut the kernels from the cob. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Serve with tortilla chips. Margarita Preparation: Pour lime juice, tequila, triple sec, pomegranate juice and simple syrup into a small ice-filled pitcher. Stir well. Pour into ice filled glasses and garnish with a lime wedge. Habanero Syrup Preparation: Place sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Poke holes in the habanero and add to the mixture. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved and syrup is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to use. Presentation Tips: For a quick and easy way to remove the silk from ears of corn, try wiping the cobs lengthwise using a damp VIVA® towel and watch the silk come off with ease. To make the portable coasters: Cut 3 inches off one non-perforated side of a VIVA® towel; Fold perforated sides towards center of VIVA® towel, creating creases 2 inches from each edge; With VIVA® towel flap-side up, set margarita glass on top, in the center; Bring folded sides of VIVA® towel toward stem of glass to cover the base of the glass. (There will be a thin strip of the base that remains uncovered.); Secure flaps around base with two 1 1/2-inch-pieces of clear tape (optional); To finish, fold remaining flaps under base of glass, and secure with clear tape or sticker.

Flank Steak w/Grilled Corn Salsa image

Categories     Beef     Backyard BBQ     Dinner     Grill/Barbecue

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons Brown sugar
1 tablespoon Ancho Chile Powder
1 tablespoon Paprika
2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Mustard Powder
1/2 teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
2 tablespoons Light Olive Oil
1 piece Jalapeño (seeds removed, finely chopped)
1 pint Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
1 cup Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
1/3 cup Lime Juice (Fresh squeezed)
1.5 pounds Flank Steak

Steps:

  • To make the dry rub: combine the brown sugar, chile powder, paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, granulated garlic, mustard powder, coriander, and cumin in a small bowl.
  • To make the salsa: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and oil the grate. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until lightly browned all over, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the corn to a cutting board, and let them cool. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and place in a medium bowl. Add the onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice to the corn and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside. Note: you can make the salsa ahead, and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • To make the steak: Coat the steak with the dry rub, adding in layers if needed, to use all of the rub. Drizzle the steaks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to help the rub adhere.
  • Grill the steak, turning occasionally and moving to a cooler spot on the grill as needed to control flare-ups, until nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak registers 130°, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Return the steak to the grill just to re-crisp the exterior, about 1 minute per side. Transfer it back to the cutting board and slice it against the grain. Serve topped with the salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality corn. Look for corn that is plump and has bright green husks. Avoid corn that is dry or has brown spots.
  • Grill the corn until it is slightly charred. This will give the salsa a smoky flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the corn off the cob. Be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Add a variety of vegetables and herbs to the salsa. This will give the salsa more flavor and texture.
  • Season the salsa to taste. Use salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, a topping, or a side dish. It is a great way to use fresh, seasonal corn. With its smoky flavor and colorful appearance, grilled corn salsa is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So, fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
