Stuffed Italian Tuna Steaks Recipes

Steps:

• Butterfly tuna steaks. Cut almost thru to the other side but not entirely.
• Mix olive oil and garlic, set aside. Mix breadcrumbs, pine nuts and thyme.
• Add 1 T olive oil to the crumb mixture and stir to coat.
• Spray baking sheet with olive oil. Place about 2 T of mixture in pocket of each steak. Brush garlic olive oil mixture over each fillet and coat with crumbs. Place crumb side down in pan and then repeat coating on other side.
• Bake at 400 for 10 mins, or to desired doneness. DO NOT OVERCOOK.
• Allow to sit for about 5 mins and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse and pat tuna steaks dry. Place zest on top of cutting board. Pile rosemary and parsley leaves on top of zest. Pile garlic and some coarse salt and black pepper or grill seasoning on top of herbs. Finely chop the garlic, herbs, and spices. Drizzle the olive oil over the tuna steaks just enough to coat each side. Rub herb and garlic mixture into fish, coating pieces evenly on each side. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Grill tuna steaks 6 minutes on each side or 4 minutes on each side, if you prefer pink tuna at the center. Cook steaks over: high setting on indoor electric grill, medium high heat on outdoor gas grill or, 6 inches from hot, prepared charcoal.
• Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl or large food storage plastic bag. Coat mushroom caps evenly in marinade.
• Place mushroom caps on the grill cap-side-up and season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. If you are using an indoor tabletop electric grill, preheat to 400 degrees F or "high" setting. If you are using an outdoor gas grill, preheat to medium high; for a charcoal grill, prepare coals and cook mushrooms 6 inches from hot coals. Mushrooms will cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Cook mushrooms covered or under tin foil tent and turn occasionally.
• Combine tomatoes, rosemary, and smoked mozzarella. Drizzle with oil and toss.
• Fill mushroom caps with tomato mixture and top with sliced mozzarella. The mushrooms will look like small pizzas. Place caps in oven at 425 degrees F until cheese melts or you can close grill lid or replace tin foil tent over mushroom caps to melt cheese, it will take 1 to 3 minutes. Serve as-is or, place stuffed caps on garlic toast or sliced crusty bread to catch the juices.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of rapidly boiling water until al dente or done to your liking.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Place olive oil and the garlic in a large saute pan and turn heat to medium. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Add capers, anchovies, olives, and tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down and become a sauce, about 8 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta. Add parsley and tuna and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sesame oil, molasses, cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl.
• Place tuna steaks in a large resealable bag or airtight container; pour marinade over steaks. Marinate steaks at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Remove steaks from marinade and arrange in the hot pan; gently shake pan to avoid sticking. Cook approximately 1 1/2 minutes and flip. Cook other side until tuna is desired doneness, 1 to 2 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Steps:

• Use a heavy, lidded saute pan, large enough to hold the tuna and vegetables comfortably. Over medium-low heat, saute the onion slices, garlic and julienned red pepper strips in the oil until the vegetables are soft.
• Dry tuna steak. Push vegetables to edge of pan and turn heat to medium-high. Quickly brown tuna on both sides. (Add more oil if needed.) When tuna is nicely browned, add wine and let it come to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover pan and steam tuna in wine for 8 to 12 minutes, to desired degree of doneness.
• Add olives, capers and shredded peel and stir to mix with vegetables.
• Remove fish and place on a warm platter. Distribute vegetables over and around fish. Turn heat to high and rapidly boil down the juices in the pan until they are reduced to 2 or 3 tablespoons of syrupy glaze. Add to the fish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preaheat your grill or broiler.
• Mix together all the ingredients except the tuna and greens.
• Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to make a small incision on any side of the tuna steak, creating a pocket, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
• You can also make a small cut and then either wiggle the knife around gently or just start slowly easing the inside apart to create a large pocket.
• Place the tuna in the soy mixture, covering each side.
• Remove tuna from liquid, letting excess sauce drip off.
• Toss the greens with the sauce, drenching it in the liquid.
• Stuff the tuna pocket with the greens and seal the opening with toothpicks.
• Grill or broil the tuna, turning once, about 5 minutes per inch of thickness, or however well-done you like your tuna.
