Categories     Garlic     Sauté     Mayonnaise     Lemon     Tuna     Carrot     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Chive     Couscous     Dill     Sugar Snap Pea     Bon Appétit

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
4 garlic cloves, minced, divided
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 carrot, peeled, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 1/4 cups water
1/2 pound sugar snap peas
2 cups couscous
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 1/2 pounds ahi tuna steaks (about 1 1/4 inches thick)

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in heavy small skillet. Toast over medium heat until fragrant, shaking skillet occasionally, about 3 minutes. Grind spice mixture in spice grinder. Transfer to bowl; mix in 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, and half of garlic in small bowl. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store spice mixture airtight at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate lemon aioli.)
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot and onion and sauté until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add thyme and remaining garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add 2 1/4 cups water and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to boil. Add sugar snap peas and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Using slotted spoon, transfer peas to plate. Immediately add couscous to water in skillet and stir to combine. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork. Transfer to bowl and cool completely. Mix in sugar snap peas and dill. Season to taste with pepper. (Couscous can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Prepare barbecue (high heat). Coat tuna with 6 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with spice mixture. Grill tuna until seared outside and rare in center, about 4 minutes per side. Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spoon couscous onto plates. Top with tuna and drizzle with lemon aioli.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tuna: Look for sushi-grade or sashimi-grade tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick. Avoid steaks that are too thin, as they will overcook quickly.
  • Use a hot grill: Preheat your grill to high heat before cooking the tuna. This will help to sear the outside of the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
  • Cook the tuna quickly: Tuna steaks should be cooked for no more than 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steaks. Overcooking will make the tuna dry and tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the tuna is cooked to your liking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the fish. The tuna is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit for rare, 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the tuna rest: After cooking the tuna, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with aioli: Aioli is a classic sauce that pairs perfectly with grilled tuna. It is made with mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs. You can find aioli at most grocery stores or make your own.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals. When grilled properly, tuna is moist, flavorful, and has a slightly smoky flavor. Serve grilled tuna with aioli, your favorite sides, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
