GRILLED TUNA STEAKS



Grilled Tuna Steaks image

Look for moist, translucent tuna that's shiny pink or red; avoid fish with any hint of browning.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 one-inch-thick tuna steaks, (about 4 ounces each)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
6 anchovy fillets, cut into thirds
1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat a ridged stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Brush grill pan or grill with oil. Grill tuna until well browned but still rare, about 2 minutes per side; the flesh will be firm and tight. For medium rare, cook 1 minute more, until the flesh begins to pull apart. For medium, cook 2 minutes more, until the flesh flakes apart.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine lemon zest and juice, anchovies, oil, and garlic. Bring to boil over medium heat, remove from heat, and stir in oregano and basil. Serve immediately with sauce spooned over tuna.

GRILLED TUNA



Grilled Tuna image

Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Be choosy: a reddish color is acceptable, but flesh with dark spots or streaks should be avoided. As with all great ocean fish, the flesh tends to be dry. Marinate with oil, and avoid overcooking. The timing is critical, as tuna should be served medium rare. Use a kitchen timer.

Yummy tuna with salsa. The salsa is soooo good. Depending on the size of your mango and papaya, you should have some extra salsa left. I like to use the rest of it up as a snack with tortilla chips.
