Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 lb Italian fry peppers (light green)
2 (3/4-lb) sushi-grade tuna steaks (1-inch thick)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons small capers in brine, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Prepare gas grill for cooking over direct high heat.
  • While grill heats, cut peppers lengthwise into quarters, discarding stems and seeds. Trim ends so that quarters lie flat.
  • Sprinkle tuna all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook tuna and peppers on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until tuna is pink only in center and peppers are just tender, 4 to 6 minutes total (peppers may take longer than tuna). Transfer tuna and peppers as cooked to a serving plate.
  • While tuna cooks, whisk together lemon juice, mustard, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in capers and parsley.
  • Serve tuna topped with peppers and caper vinaigrette.

I'm allergic to capers, so I substituted them with chopped olives. It turned out great!

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I'll probably add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish didn't cook evenly. Some parts were overcooked and some parts were still raw.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I've made it with different types of fish and vegetables, and it always turns out great.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tuna. I usually make it with canned tuna, but I'm sure it would be just as good with fresh tuna.

This recipe was a disaster! The fish was dry and the peppers were burnt. I definitely won't be making this again.

The fish was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the flavors were still good.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili next time.
