Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
6 thin slices fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 1-inch-thick tuna steaks, thawed

Steps:

  • Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl.
  • Place tuna steaks in a large resealable bag or airtight container; pour marinade over steaks. Marinate steaks at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons jarred capers, drained
1/4 cup fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, finely minced
1 whole garlic clove, peeled and smashed
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch kosher salt
4 steaks (1 pound) high quality ahi tuna (sashimi grade recommended; wild caught if you can find it*)
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Allow the tuna steak to come to room temperature by letting it stand for at least 20 minutes. (Use this time to prep the ingredients for the sauce!)
  • Pat the tuna dry. Sprinkle it liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper on both sides to get a nice even coating.
  • Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the tuna steaks and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned on the outside but still rare the inside. The tuna will continue cooking while sitting. For a medium-rare tuna steak, the internal temperature should be 130 degrees Fahrenheit when measured with a food thermometer at the thickest point.
  • Allow the tuna to cool for 3 minutes while you make the sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet over low heat. Once melted, add the capers (whole or chopped for a smoother sauce), finely minced parsley, the smashed garlic clove, Dijon mustard, and salt and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and remove garlic clove.
  • Slice the tuna against the grain into ½-inch slices and serve immediately with a few drizzles of the sauce.

TUNA STEAKS WITH FENNEL



Tuna Steaks With Fennel image

Sea bass is the fish I always associate with fennel, as the combination is a classic in Provence. But cross the border into Italy and you'll find tuna cooked with this anise-flavored vegetable.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 leek, white and light green parts only, cut in half lengthwise, cleaned, and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds fennel, trimmed, quartered, cored and cut across the grain into thin slices
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 pounds albacore tuna steaks
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and cook, stirring, until leeks are limp, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until the mixture is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the fennel and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low, cover and cook slowly for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the lemon juice, taste and adjust seasonings. The mixture should be very soft.
  • Meanwhile, season the albacore steaks with salt and pepper and heat the remaining olive oil in another pan over medium-high heat. Sear the albacore steaks for 30 seconds on each side. Place on top of the fennel. Cover the pan, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
  • Sprinkle on the parsley and serve, laying the fish on top of the fennel, with lemon wedges on the side.
