Add all remaining ingredients except for the parsley and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and remove from heat.

Grilled Tuna with Grilled Asparagus and Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h47m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 (5-ounce) portions yellowfin tuna
Grilled Asparagus with Lemon-Olive Oil, recipe follows, for serving
1 teaspoon salt
Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce, for serving
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound large asparagus, woody ends trimmed*
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 pounds Romanita tomatoes, cored*
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 cloves garlic, peeled

Steps:

  • Season each piece of the tuna on both sides with the salt and pepper. Heat a grill to high and grill the tuna to the desired temperature.
  • Serve the tuna with the asparagus and tomato sauce.
  • Preheat the grill to medium.
  • In a shallow baking dish, toss the asparagus with the oil to coat well. Add the salt, and pepper and toss.
  • Place the asparagus on the grill in a single layer, and cook, turning, until marked and tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with the lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil, to taste. Cover with aluminum foil and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large, 14-inch, oven proof frying pan, combine all of the ingredients. Stir to blend then transfer to the oven and cook until the tomatoes begin to caramelize, about 30 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and stir well. Return to the oven and continue to cook until further caramelized and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes longer. Serve immediately. (Alternately, cool slightly, and transfer to a blender, in batches if necessary, and process sauce until coarsely pureed. If the sauce seems too thick, thin with a bit of water or chicken broth.)
  • To store, cool completely and refrigerate for up to 4 days in a nonreactive, airtight container.
  • The sauce is great on pasta as well as pizza and even makes a great dipping sauce for hors d'oeuvres. If you prefer a less rustic sauce, puree completely as described above and strain.

GRILLED TUNA WITH HERBS AND OLIVES



Grilled Tuna With Herbs and Olives image

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.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 to 2 pounds tuna, about 1 inch thick, 2 or 4 steaks
Extra-virgin olive oil as needed
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup pitted oil-cured olives, finely chopped
About 1 cup mixed tender fresh herbs
1 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from heat source.
  • When fire is ready, rub tuna lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Put it on grill and grill about 3 to 4 minutes a side for medium-rare, more or less according to your desired degree of doneness.
  • Meanwhile, combine olives, herbs, garlic if you are using it and just enough oil to moisten and bind the mixture, no more than a tablespoon.
  • When tuna is done, spread a portion of herb mixture on 1 side of each steak and serve with lemon wedges.

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.
