Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

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
Mixed green salad dressed with oil and vinegar
Stuffed portobellos, recipe follows
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

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.
  • Serving suggestions: garlic toasts or grilled crusty bread
  • 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. If you are using an outdoor gas grill, preheat to medium high; for a charcoal grill, prepare coals and cook mushrooms 6 inches from hot coals. Mushrooms will cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Cook mushrooms covered or under tin foil tent and turn occasionally.
  • Combine tomatoes, rosemary, and smoked mozzarella. Drizzle with oil and toss.
  • Fill mushroom caps with tomato mixture and top with sliced mozzarella. The mushrooms will look like small pizzas. Place caps in oven at 425 degrees F until cheese melts or you can close grill lid or replace tin foil tent over mushroom caps to melt cheese, it will take 1 to 3 minutes. Serve as-is or, place stuffed caps on garlic toast or sliced crusty bread to catch the juices.

TUNA STEAKS, GRILLED AND MARINATED



Tuna Steaks, Grilled and Marinated image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 16m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely minced sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Hot pepper sauce to taste
2 1/2 pounds fresh tuna steaks (see note)
Pepper salsa (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Combine the lime juice, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, cumin and hot pepper sauce in a glass or ceramic dish large enough to hold the fish snugly in a single layer.
  • Cut the fish into six uniform pieces. Place them in the dish, turn them once to coat both sides, cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. Turn the fish once while it is marinating.
  • Heat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the tuna until it is seared on the outside but still rare in the middle, two to three minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish and the heat of the grill or broiler.
  • Serve at once topped with the pepper salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna steaks. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a firm texture. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of dark spots.
  • Marinate the tuna steaks. Marinating the steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to flavor and tenderize them.
  • Grill the tuna steaks over medium heat. This will help to prevent the steaks from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Cook the tuna steaks to your desired doneness. The USDA recommends cooking tuna steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the steaks and prevent them from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. When cooked properly, tuna steaks are tender, flavorful, and have a slightly smoky flavor. They are also a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to prepare a healthy meal, grilled tuna steaks are a great option.
