I found this recipe in the "Authentic Italian Recipes Cookbook", compiled by The Christopher Columbus Ladies Auxiliary of San Antonio, Texas. My husband loves this steak! It's a nice change from the normal way we grill our steaks. I serve it with either Fettuccini Alfredo or baked potatoes.

SICILIAN STEAK

Got this while going through a bag of old recipes. The recipe didn't specify the size round steak, but I used a 1 lb steak and had extra breading, so I'd guess about 1 3/4-2lb would work with the bread crumb mix. The round steak came out nice and tender.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 (5- to 6-ounce) tuna steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons salted capers, soaked in water for 10 minutes and drained
3 tablespoons minced pitted green olives
1/4 cup raisins
5 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 cup fish stock or water, as needed
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
4 to 5 fresh basil leaves, torn
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium skillet over moderately high heat, warm the oil. Season the tuna with salt and pepper and sauté, turning once, until golden on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Remove the tuna and set aside. Do not clean the pan.
  • 2. In the same pan over low heat, sauté the onion, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, capers, olives, raisins, and tomatoes, and continue cooking, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes. If the tomatoes don't release much juice, add the fish stock or water to give the sauce some body.
  • 3. Return the tuna to the pan and cover it with a tight-fitting lid. Cook over moderate heat until the tuna reaches the desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for medium.
  • 4. Add the parsley and basil and stir to incorporate, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the fish with the sauce spooned over the top; garnish with pine nuts.

Sicilian-Style Broccoli Rabe image

This is the way broccoli rabe was meant to be cooked. This goes great with a nice steak or fish. Serve with crusty Italian bread and some good vino. The best part is dipping the crusty bread in those juices. Buon appetito!
