Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Four 6-ounce yellowfin tuna steaks
1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning
Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
  • Brush both sides of the pineapple slices with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place the pineapple on the grill and cook, rotating the slices occasionally, until slightly softened and nicely marked by the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Dice the pineapple slices (discard the tough core portions), and place the dice in a medium nonreactive bowl. Add the red onion, bell pepper, rice vinegar, jalapenos, lime juice, cilantro, and minced garlic.Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil, and stir well to combine. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and set the salsa aside.
  • Season the tuna steaks with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the Original Essence, and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place the steaks on the grill, rotating them 45 degrees after 2 minutes. Cook for 2 minutes longer. Turn to the other side, grilling the steaks for an additional 2 minutes, or until medium-rare. Remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest briefly before serving it with the Grilled Pineapple Salsa. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

1 jalapeno pepper, diced

Categories     Weeknight

Time 30m

Yield 2 pieces, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups pineapple, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 habanero pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
ground pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the top of pineapple and the bottom off. Stand the pineapple on its side and with a sharp knife, slice sides of pineapple off. Cut the pineapple into small slices and then remove the core of each slice. (The core tends to be hard to eat, but I've had some pineapples were it was soft). Dice the remaining pineapple into small pieces.
  • Toss all of the ingredients into a bowl and chill for a couple of hours to let the flavors marinate.
  • Season each side of the fish with garlic powder, fresh ground pepper and sea salt.
