Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 small bulbs fennel, quartered
4 7- to 8-ounce tuna steaks, each about 1 1/4 inches thick
1/4 cup chopped mint
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 teaspoons chopped tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat a charcoal grill or a broiler. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, soy sauce and salt. Set aside.
  • Place the fennel in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the fennel just begins to become tender, about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the fennel and brush it lightly with the oil-and-lemon mixture. Grill or broil until lightly browned and very tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, brush the tuna with some of the oil-and-lemon mixture and grill or broil until seared but red in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and surround with the fennel. Combine the herbs with the remaining oil-and-lemon mixture and pour it over the tuna. Serve immediately.

GRILLED TUNA



Grilled Tuna image

Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Be choosy: a reddish color is acceptable, but flesh with dark spots or streaks should be avoided. As with all great ocean fish, the flesh tends to be dry. Marinate with oil, and avoid overcooking. The timing is critical, as tuna should be served medium rare. Use a kitchen timer.

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

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.

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 grayish color.
  • Marinate the tuna: Marinating the tuna in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to keep it moist and flavorful. You can marinate the tuna for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Grill the tuna over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the tuna and keep it juicy on the inside. Cook the tuna for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Make the lemon-mint vinaigrette: This vinaigrette is a great way to add a bright and refreshing flavor to the grilled tuna. Simply whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, mint, and honey.
  • Serve the grilled tuna with the lemon-mint vinaigrette and your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, grilled zucchini, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed all summer long. By following these tips, you can make sure that your grilled tuna is cooked perfectly and full of flavor. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
