GRILLED TUNA WITH HERBS AND OLIVES
Here, grilled tuna is smothered with a mixture of flavorful herbs, made more potent by the addition of chopped olives and a little raw garlic. A mix of parsley, basil, chives, chervil and marjoram, for example, would be splendid, as would one of cilantro, mint and basil. (I would rule out only thyme, tarragon and rosemary, unless you use them in minuscule quantities.) If you don't have a grill, many readers have baked it at 425 and been happy with the results.

Cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes more.
- Sprinkle the tuna on both sides with the cracked peppercorns.

SAVORY PAN-SEARED TUNA STEAKS
These marinated tuna steaks, served rare, taste 'fancy' but are very easy to cook. Even my husband, who doesn't like most cooked fish, enjoys these steaks. A sprinkling of cracked black pepper is a good finisher for this dish.

Steps:
- Stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon parsley, and red pepper flakes. Toss tuna with marinade, and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Pour vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, and soy sauce into the bowl of a blender. Add shallot, 1 tablespoon parsley, thyme, dill, honey, Dijon mustard, jalapeno, and ginger. Blend on high until smooth, then add 3/4 cups olive oil in a slow, steady stream with the blender running. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill another large container with half ice, half cold water, and set aside. Add the haricots verts to the boiling water, and cook until just tender, 35 to 40 seconds. Remove from the water, and immediately plunge into the ice water to cool. Next, blanch the carrots until just tender, about 1 1/2 minutes; chill in ice water until cold.
- When the vegetables are cold, remove from the ice water and pat dry. Place into a large bowl, and toss with the halved tomatoes, olives, onion, and chervil; set aside.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until very hot. Remove tuna steaks from marinade, and wipe off excess marinade. Season the tuna to taste with salt and pepper, then sear in hot skillet to desired doneness, about 1 minute per side for rare.
- To assemble, toss the vegetable salad with enough dressing to lightly coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates, and place a seared tuna steak on top of each. Drizzle with additional dressing to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of brown or gray spots.
- Preheat your broiler: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the tuna steaks and prevent them from drying out.
- Season the tuna steaks simply: Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the tuna.
- Broil the tuna steaks for 4-5 minutes per side: This will cook the tuna steaks to a medium-rare doneness. If you prefer your tuna cooked more, broil it for an additional 1-2 minutes per side.
- Make the herb vinaigrette while the tuna steaks are broiling: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the tuna steaks immediately with the herb vinaigrette: The tuna steaks will be most flavorful when they are hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
Broiled tuna steaks are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The tuna steaks are cooked to perfection and the herb vinaigrette adds a delicious flavor. This recipe is also a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids.
