Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for searing
1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion (2 onions)
2 teaspoons peeled, minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 ripe mangos, peeled, seeded, and small diced
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, to taste (1 pepper)
2 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves
2 tuna steaks

Steps:

  • Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes. Add the orange juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the mint. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
  • Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot. Season the tuna liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.
  • Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.

From inside the carton of a tube of Amore Garlic Paste. Saving here for safe keeping as I couldn't find the same recipe already posted. I am guessing on times as I haven't had a chance to make this yet since we still have several feet of snow on!!! (Doesn't include marinating time.) **Made this last night on the griddle pan on the stovetop. Loved it and can't wait to try this on the charcoal grill... Light, filling and flavorful!

Number Of Ingredients 1

Please Add this...I forgot to include the 1/4 Cup of Guava Jelly in my Mango Salsa and that makes a big difference!

Steps:

  • Add the guava jelly to my original ingredients

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Tuna Steaks: Ensure that the tuna steaks are fresh and of high quality. Check for a vibrant red color and a firm texture.
  • Make Sure the Tuna is Cooked Properly: Overcooking the tuna can make it dry and tough. Cook it briefly over high heat to maintain its tenderness and flavor.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is a healthy and flavorful choice for cooking the tuna and sautéing the vegetables.
  • Prepare the Red Mango Salsa in Advance: Making the salsa ahead of time allows the flavors to meld and develop. This way, it will be ready when you need it.
  • Adjust the Spice Level to Your Preference: The spiciness of the salsa can be adjusted by adding more or less jalapeño pepper. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it to taste.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to enhance its visual appeal.

Conclusion:

This pecan-crusted yellowfin tuna with red mango salsa is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of pecan, tuna, and mango.
