SICILIAN-STYLE TUNA STEAKS (TONNO ALLA GHIOTTA)



Sicilian-Style Tuna Steaks (Tonno alla Ghiotta) image

Provided by Gianni Scappin

Categories     Fish     Olive     Onion     Tomato     Sauté     Dinner     Raisin     Seafood     Tuna     Healthy     Capers     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the best tuna steaks: Look for tuna steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a grayish color.
  • Marinate the tuna steaks: Marinating the tuna steaks in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger helps to add flavor and tenderize the fish.
  • Use a hot skillet: When searing the tuna steaks, make sure the skillet is hot enough so that the fish gets a nice sear. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the tuna steaks: Tuna steaks are best when they are cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness. Overcooking the fish will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the tuna steaks with a variety of dipping sauces: Some popular dipping sauces for tuna steaks include soy sauce, ponzu sauce, and wasabi mayonnaise.
