Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt
1 pound frozen shoestring French fries (about 6 cups)
1 cup fresh parsley
1/2 cup fresh oregano
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Pinch of red pepper flakes
4 plum tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise
Freshly ground pepper
4 1-inch-thick tuna steaks (6 ounces each)

Spread the fries in a single layer on the hot baking sheet and bake until crisp and golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, puree the remaining garlic, the parsley, oregano, olive oil, vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons water in a blender or food processor to make a sauce; set aside.

Oil the grill grates. Grill the tuna until marked, 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium. Grill the tomatoes cut-side down until marked, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the fries to the bowl with the garlic butter and toss. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Serve the tuna with the tomatoes and fries; drizzle the remaining herb sauce over the tuna and tomatoes.

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.
