Grilled Yellowfin Tuna With Oven Roasted Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Prick tuna steaks all over with a fork and place in shallow glass dish.
• Whisk oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, lemon peel, and garlic together in a bowl; pour over the tuna steaks. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 to 3 hours.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove tuna from the marinade. Shake excess moisture from the steaks.
• Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook marinade at a simmer for 10 minutes.
• Cook tuna on preheated grill, basting with boiled marinade, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Peppers: Place pepper directly over a high gas flame; use tongs to rotate pepper until the entire surface is charred, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, roast under the broiler, turning occasionally with tongs to char evenly.) Place charred pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap; the steam trapped in the bowl will enable "carryover cooking." Let rest to loosen skin, 15 minutes.
• Pepper is ready to be peeled when there's condensation under the plastic. Remove plastic wrap and place pepper on a work surface. Use a kitchen towel to gently rub off the charred skin. Tear pepper in half; discard the stem and seeds. Slice into ¼-inch strips, then cut strips into 1-inch segments. Set aside in a bowl.
• In a small saucepan over very low heat, add oil, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, and lemon peel. Heat until warm and aromatic, 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and pour contents over peppers. Stir to make sure peppers are fully submerged, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, 6-12 hours. Makes 1½ cups. (You can store the peppers in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.)

Steps:

• For the spice mixture: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
• For the juice mixture: Blend all ingredients except butter and oil until smooth. Add oil and butter to finish. Add warm chicken stock and season to taste.
• For the romaine: Over high heat saute romaine ribs in olive oil until tender. Add anchovies and coriander. Finish by tossing with basil and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• For the tuna: Season tuna pieces with oil and salt and pepper evenly. Place seasoned tuna in spice mixture and coat evenly. Next, heat oil in a cast iron skillet until very hot. Add tuna and cook to desired doneness and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes. Slice each piece after resting.
• Plating: Place braised romaine in center of plate. Next arrange warm tuna slices on top of romaine. Finish plate by drizzling warm juice around the plate. Serve.

Steps:

• Roast the pepper directly over a gas burner or under the broiler, turning often until uniformly charred. Remove from the heat, and place in a bowl. Cover tightly, and allow to cool.
• While you're waiting for the pepper to cool, make the tuna filling. Combine the garlic and a generous pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy, if using, and mash with the garlic. Add the capers, and mash together. In a bowl, break up the tuna with a fork, then stir in the garlic mixture, the lemon juice, olive oil and the yogurt. Add more yogurt or olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Season to taste with pepper (it should not need salt), and stir in the parsley.
• When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel and discard the blackened skin, rinse briefly and pat dry. Cut away the top, then cut or pull apart the pepper into thirds. Remove seeds and membranes, holding the pepper over a bowl so that you can catch any juice. Lay the pepper pieces on a plate. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired, and fill with the tuna mixture. Serve.

Steps:

• If using tuna steaks, prepare grill.
• Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. (Alternatively, tuna steaks may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer tuna to a platter and cool. In a large sealable plastic bag combine lemon juice, thyme, and 1/4 cup oil and add grilled tuna. Marinate grilled tuna, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. If using canned tuna, drain tuna and in a bowl stir together with lemon juice, thyme, 1/4 cup oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• In a bowl toss together parsley, onion, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Pat roasted peppers dry. Halve focaccia horizontally and layer one half with peppers, tuna, capers, and parsley salad. Top sandwich with remaining focaccia half, pressing gently, and cut lengthwise in half and crosswise into thirds to make 6 sandwiches. Cut sandwiches in half diagonally and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill sandwiches at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Steps:

• Sprinkle tuna steaks on both sides with salt, then sprinkle with coarsely cracked black pepper, pressing gently to adhere. Heat sesame oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add tuna steaks and sear until brown outside and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer tuna steaks to platter. Tent platter loosely with foil to keep tuna steaks warm. Add soy sauce, then Sherry to same skillet. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is slightly reduced, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Spoon sauce over tuna steaks. Sprinkle with chives or green onion tops.

Steps:

• Slice the top of pineapple and the bottom off. Stand the pineapple on its side and with a sharp knife, slice sides of pineapple off. Cut the pineapple into small slices and then remove the core of each slice. (The core tends to be hard to eat, but I've had some pineapples were it was soft). Dice the remaining pineapple into small pieces.
• Toss all of the ingredients into a bowl and chill for a couple of hours to let the flavors marinate.
• Season each side of the fish with garlic powder, fresh ground pepper and sea salt.
• Heat grill to medium high heat. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, until inside of the fish is a nice medium rare. Top with pineapple salsa! Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Using knife, make 9 slits in sides of tuna. Fill each with 1 clove, 1 coriander seed, and 1 garlic sliver; sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper. Heat oil in ovenproof pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 8 minutes; push to side of pot. Add tuna and sauté until brown on all sides, about 12 minutes. Scatter tomatoes, oregano, and remaining garlic slivers around tuna. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour vinegar over fish.
• Bake tuna uncovered until thermometer inserted into center registers 145°F for medium-rare, about 12 minutes. Transfer tuna to platter. Spoon tomato sauce over. Cool to room temperature. Slice tuna thinly and serve.
