Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup long-grain rice
1 pound red onions (1 very large)
1/2 pound fresh tuna
16 ounces whole red and yellow peppers or 14 ounces coarsely chopped ready-cut peppers (4 cups)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large clove garlic

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ripe medium-large tomatoes
2 slices crusty country bread

Steps:

  • Combine the rice with 1 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, cooking a total of 17 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the onions about 1/4-inch thick. Prepare a stove-top grill.

GRILLED TUNA STEAK WITH SPRING ONIONS AND PROVENçAL VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Tuna Steak with Spring Onions and Provençal Vinaigrette image

Categories     Onion     Side     Dinner     Steak     Tuna     Spring

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

Four 8-ounce tuna steaks, 1 inch thick
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 spring onions, white and green parts, tops trimmed
1/2 cup Provençal Vinaigrette (page 240)

Steps:

  • Pat the tuna dry with paper towels and rub with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Sprinkle both sides of the tuna with a fair amount of salt and pepper-you should see the seasoning on the fish. Coat the onions in the remaining tablespoon of oil and season them with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill until very hot or put a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the tuna steaks on the grill and sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, rotating halfway through cooking to "mark" them. As the tuna cooks, the red meat will become whiter; grill for a total of 5 to 6 minutes for medium-rare. A minute or two before the tuna is cooked, toss the spring onions on the grill and char them, turning often so they soften a bit but don't burn.
  • To serve, transfer the tuna to a cutting board and cut on a slight angle into 1-inch slices. Fan the pieces on 4 dinner plates, spoon the vinaigrette on top, and serve the spring onions on the side.

I made a few small changes, such as replacing gherkins with capers and adding tarragon to the vinaigrette.
