1 carrot, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, smashed

Olive oil
4 to 5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided

GRILLED TUNA SALAD



Grilled Tuna Salad image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, salads and dressings, main course

Time 1h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium waxy potatoes, like Yellow Finn, Yukon gold, or Bintje
1 1/2 pounds fresh tuna steak, cut at least 1 inch thick
2 red or yellow bell peppers (or 1 of each), roasted, skinned and seeded
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley
1/4 cup sherry vinegar or white-wine vinegar, or more as needed
4 large handfuls of mixed greens, like basil, arugula, radicchio, bibb lettuce, chicory, dandelion and endive
2 tomatoes, peeled, cut into 6 wedges and seeded

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a 4-quart pot and cover with cold water. Simmer gently until tender, about 25 minutes, being careful not to overcook them.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the grill, adjusting the rack 2 inches above the coals. Trim the tuna, discarding the skin and any dark purple flesh. Refrigerate.
  • Cut the roasted peppers lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Put in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Drain the potatoes and peel while still hot. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange 1/4 of them in a pie plate or casserole. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the shallots, 1/4 of the parsley and salt and pepper. Repeat the layers until all the potatoes are used. Whisk 2 teaspoons of the vinegar with 1 tablespoon of the oil and pour over the top.
  • Lightly rub the tuna steaks with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on the outside and rare in the center, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Place the greens in a large salad bowl and top with the potato mixture, the peppers and the tomatoes. Slice the tuna into 1/4-inch strips and arrange on top of the salad. Just before serving, make a vinaigrette from the remaining vinegar and oil and pour over the salad. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and toss with more vinegar or oil if needed. Serve immediately.

TUNA, TOMATO, AND WHITE-BEAN SALAD



Tuna, Tomato, and White-Bean Salad image

On the hottest of summer days, it's best to leave the oven off as much as possible. This salad for dinner recipe has you use the stovetop just once-to simmer potatoes and cook green beans. Other than that, it's smooth sailing to a practically no-cook dinner that's light, refreshing, and delicious.

Provided by Sarah Carey

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Yukon Gold potatoes (12 ounces), peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces green beans, trimmed
1/4 teaspoon grated garlic (from 1 small clove)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 pound tomatoes, such as Campari or beefsteak
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 can (15.5 ounces) white beans, such as cannellini, drained and rinsed
2 jars (each 5 ounces) high-quality tuna packed in oil, drained
Arugula, for serving

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough water to cover by 2 inches and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then cook until fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Return water to a boil; add green beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
  • Mix together garlic and vinegar; let stand 5 minutes. Grate 1 or 2 tomatoes to yield 1/2 cup; add to vinegar mixture. Whisk in oil; season to taste. Cut remaining tomatoes into wedges, arrange on a platter, season, and drizzle with oil.
  • Toss white beans with half of dressing. Toss green beans with 1 tablespoon dressing; arrange on platter with potatoes, tuna, white beans, and arugula. Season to taste, drizzle with remaining dressing, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna steak: Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a grayish color.
  • Marinate the tuna: Marinating the tuna in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to add flavor and moisture to the fish.
  • Sear the tuna over high heat: Searing the tuna over high heat will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and tender.
  • Cook the tuna to your desired doneness: The best way to cook tuna is to cook it to your desired doneness. For rare tuna, cook it for about 1 minute per side. For medium-rare tuna, cook it for about 2 minutes per side. For medium tuna, cook it for about 3 minutes per side. And for well-done tuna, cook it for about 4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the tuna with a warm white bean salad: The warm white bean salad is a great accompaniment to the grilled tuna. The salad is made with white beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and a lemon-tahini dressing.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna with warm white bean salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The tuna is grilled to perfection and the salad is light and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
