Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 crushed clove garlic
1 red pepper, seeded and cut in julienne strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 fresh tuna steak, approximately 1 1/2 inches thick, weighing 1 to 1 1/4 pounds
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup pitted black Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon drained capers, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon finely shredded lemon peel

Steps:

  • Use a heavy, lidded saute pan, large enough to hold the tuna and vegetables comfortably. Over medium-low heat, saute the onion slices, garlic and julienned red pepper strips in the oil until the vegetables are soft.
  • Dry tuna steak. Push vegetables to edge of pan and turn heat to medium-high. Quickly brown tuna on both sides. (Add more oil if needed.) When tuna is nicely browned, add wine and let it come to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover pan and steam tuna in wine for 8 to 12 minutes, to desired degree of doneness.
  • Add olives, capers and shredded peel and stir to mix with vegetables.
  • Remove fish and place on a warm platter. Distribute vegetables over and around fish. Turn heat to high and rapidly boil down the juices in the pan until they are reduced to 2 or 3 tablespoons of syrupy glaze. Add to the fish and serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tuna came out dry and tasteless.

This recipe was a disaster. The tuna was overcooked and the sauce was way too acidic.

This recipe was easy to follow and the tuna was cooked perfectly. However, I found the sauce to be a bit bland. I added some lemon juice and capers to give it more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tuna turned out great. The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, so I added a little bit of sugar to balance it out.

This braised tuna dish was a delight! The fish was cooked perfectly, tender and flaky, and the white wine sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family.
