Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground anise seed
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon red hot pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
4 tuna steaks, about 1 1/2 pounds total weight, about 1 1/2 inches thick
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons melted butter
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped coriander

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine paprika, cumin, turmeric, anise, ginger, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, salt and and pepper, and blend well.
  • Place the tuna steaks on a large platter and sprinkle and rub each side with the spice mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the lemon juice and oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until ready to cook.
  • If broiling, arrange the steaks on a rack and place under a very hot broiler about 4 inches from the heat. Broil 4 minutes with the door partly open. Turn, continue cooking or broiling leaving the door open for about 3 to 4 minutes for pink inside. For rare, cook less. The steaks should be well browned.
  • For pan frying, heat a heavy cast-iron skillet, large enough to hold the steaks in one layer. Do not add fat. When the skillet is quite hot, add the tuna steaks, cook until well browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook 3 minutes more on the second side for rare. If desired, cook longer.
  • Place the steaks on warm plates, brush them with the melted butter, sprinkle with coriander. Serve with couscous.

Categories     Tuna

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground aniseed
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 tablespoons ground fresh coriander

Steps:

  • Rinse the tuna steaks and pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, combine cumin, paprika, tumeric, anise, ginger, cinnamon, pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Lightly rub both sides of the tuna steaks with 1 tbsp olive oil. Rub the seasoning mix on both sides of tuna steaks; coating them well.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality tuna steaks that are fresh or frozen and thawed.
  • Make sure to pat the tuna steaks dry before searing them. This will help create a nice crust.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan for searing the tuna. This will help prevent the fish from sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Sear the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Do not overcook the tuna, as this will make it dry and tough.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
  • Serve the tuna steaks with your favorite sides. Some popular options include roasted vegetables, grilled pineapple, or a simple green salad.
