Categories     main-dish

Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 fresh tuna steaks, 8 ounces each, 1-inch thick
1 lemon, zested
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, about 2 tablespoons leaves stripped from stem
Handful flat leaf parsley
3 cloves garlic, crushed
Coarse salt and black pepper or grill seasoning
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
Stuffed Portobellos, recipe follows
Serving suggestions: Mixed green salad dressed with oil and vinegar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 large lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more, for drizzling
4 medium to large portobello mushroom caps
Coarse salt and black pepper, or grill seasoning spice blend
3 large, firm plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves finely chopped to about 2 tablespoons
1/2 pound fresh smoked mozzarella, thinly sliced
Serving suggestions: Garlic toasts or grilled crusty bread

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat tuna steaks dry. Place zest on top of cutting board. Pile rosemary and parsley leaves on top of zest. Pile garlic and some coarse salt and black pepper or grill seasoning on top of herbs. Finely chop the garlic, herbs, and spices. Drizzle the olive oil over the tuna steaks just enough to coat each side. Rub herb and garlic mixture into fish, coating pieces evenly on each side. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Grill tuna steaks 6 minutes on each side or 4 minutes on each side, if you prefer pink tuna at the center. Cook steaks over: high setting on indoor electric grill, medium high heat on outdoor gas grill or, 6 inches from hot, prepared charcoal.
  • Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl or large food storage plastic bag. Coat mushroom caps evenly in marinade.
  • Place mushroom caps on the grill cap-side-up and season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. If you are using an indoor tabletop electric grill, preheat to 400 degrees F or "high" setting.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a grayish color.
  • Marinate the tuna steaks: Marinating the tuna steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to add flavor and keep the steaks moist during grilling.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking the tuna steaks. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside moist.
  • Cook the tuna steaks over direct heat: Cook the tuna steaks over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest before serving: After cooking, let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the steaks to retain their juices and flavor.

Grilled tuna steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be easily prepared at home. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled tuna steaks turn out perfect every time. Serve grilled tuna steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled potatoes, or a fresh salad.
