Four 1-inch-thick fresh tuna steaks (about 4 pounds)

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALSA



Grilled Tuna Steaks with Roasted Corn and Tomato Salsa image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ears of corn, husks removed
2 red bell peppers
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, coarsely chopped, plus 1 teaspoon of their oil
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
3 to 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
4 tuna steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds) cut 3/4-inch thick
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • First make the salsa. Preheat the broiler. While it is heating, prepare the corn. Holding each ear upright, cut off the kernels with a sharp knife. Heat a large heavy-based skillet or frying pan without any fat over high heat until almost smoking. Add the kernels and dry-roast until tender, smoky and dark, tossing continuously as they tend to stick, 4 to 5 minutes. Cook the peppers under the broiler, turning them until the skin chars and bursts, 7 to 10 minutes. Put them in a plastic bag and leave to sweat and cool so the skins loosen. Peel the peppers, discarding cores and seeds. Dice the flesh.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and saute until soft but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Take the pan from the heat and stir in the roasted corn, chopped tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, diced peppers, vinegar and remaining oil. Heat, stirring, until hot. Take from the heat and keep warm.
  • Rinse fish steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Brush with half the oil, season with salt and pepper and set on oiled grill pan or grill. Broil 3 to 4 minutes. Turn steaks over, brush with the remaining oil and grill until done to taste, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, stir the cilantro and lime juice into the salsa, taste and adjust seasoning. Make a bed of salsa on 4 warmed plates and place a tuna steak on top of each. Serve at once.

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS



Grilled Tuna Steaks image

Look for moist, translucent tuna that's shiny pink or red; avoid fish with any hint of browning.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 one-inch-thick tuna steaks, (about 4 ounces each)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
6 anchovy fillets, cut into thirds
1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat a ridged stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Brush grill pan or grill with oil. Grill tuna until well browned but still rare, about 2 minutes per side; the flesh will be firm and tight. For medium rare, cook 1 minute more, until the flesh begins to pull apart. For medium, cook 2 minutes more, until the flesh flakes apart.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine lemon zest and juice, anchovies, oil, and garlic. Bring to boil over medium heat, remove from heat, and stir in oregano and basil. Serve immediately with sauce spooned over tuna.

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.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sherry
2 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tuna steaks (6 ounces each)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Remove 1/3 cup to a small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add tuna. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 1 hour., Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill tuna, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna. Opt for a tuna steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a nice, deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of white or gray meat.
  • Marinate the tuna. Marinating the tuna in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to keep it moist and flavorful while it grills.
  • Preheat your grill. Make sure your grill is heated to a medium-high heat before you start cooking the tuna. This will help to prevent the tuna from sticking to the grill and will also help to create a nice sear.
  • Cook the tuna quickly. Tuna is a relatively delicate fish, so it doesn't need to be cooked for long. Grill the tuna for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the tuna rest. Once the tuna is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the tuna and will also make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can grill a perfect tuna steak every time. Grilled tuna can be served over white rice, green beans, or whatever your favorite side dish happens to be. It is also a great option for fish tacos or salads.
