Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 lb Italian fry peppers (light green)
2 (3/4-lb) sushi-grade tuna steaks (1-inch thick)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons small capers in brine, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Prepare gas grill for cooking over direct high heat.
  • While grill heats, cut peppers lengthwise into quarters, discarding stems and seeds. Trim ends so that quarters lie flat.
  • Sprinkle tuna all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook tuna and peppers on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until tuna is pink only in center and peppers are just tender, 4 to 6 minutes total (peppers may take longer than tuna). Transfer tuna and peppers as cooked to a serving plate.
  • While tuna cooks, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in capers and parsley.
  • Serve tuna topped with peppers and caper vinaigrette.

I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. This recipe was amazing! The tuna was cooked perfectly and the peppers were roasted to perfection. The caper vinaigrette was the perfect finishing touch. I would definitely recommend this recip

This recipe is the worst! The tuna was rubbery and the peppers were raw. The caper vinaigrette was like vinegar. I would not recommend this recipe to my worst enemy.

This recipe is a waste of time. The tuna was tasteless and the peppers were soggy. The caper vinaigrette was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish did not turn out well for me. The tuna was dry and the peppers were mushy. The caper vinaigrette was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a disaster! The tuna was overcooked and the peppers were burnt. The caper vinaigrette was too acidic. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this dish was just okay. The tuna was a bit dry and the peppers were a bit undercooked. The caper vinaigrette was good, but it didn't save the dish.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy pepper. Next time I'll use a milder pepper. Other than that, the dish was very good. The tuna was cooked perfectly and the caper vinaigrette was delicious.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it always turns out great. The caper vinaigrette is especially good. I like to make a double batch and use it on salads and other dishes throughout the week.
