TUNA STEAKS MOROCCAN STYLE

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine paprika, cumin, turmeric, anise, ginger, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, salt and and pepper, and blend well.
• Place the tuna steaks on a large platter and sprinkle and rub each side with the spice mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the lemon juice and oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until ready to cook.
• If broiling, arrange the steaks on a rack and place under a very hot broiler about 4 inches from the heat. Broil 4 minutes with the door partly open. Turn, continue cooking or broiling leaving the door open for about 3 to 4 minutes for pink inside. For rare, cook less. The steaks should be well browned.
• For pan frying, heat a heavy cast-iron skillet, large enough to hold the steaks in one layer. Do not add fat. When the skillet is quite hot, add the tuna steaks, cook until well browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook 3 minutes more on the second side for rare. If desired, cook longer.
• Place the steaks on warm plates, brush them with the melted butter, sprinkle with coriander. Serve with couscous.

MOROCCAN-SPICED TUNA

Steps:

• Put the coriander, garlic, spices and lemon juice into a blender and blitz to a purée. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until you get a smooth, thick sauce. Set aside.
• Sit the tuna steaks in a non-metallic dish and cover with two-thirds of the sauce. Cover with cling film, then leave to marinate in the fridge for about 20 mins (or for up to 4hrs).
• Heat a griddle pan or grill. Shake off any excess marinade, season the tuna steaks, then cook for 2-4 mins, depending on thickness for medium rare, turning once (cook 2 mins more for well done). Drizzle over the remaining sauce paste to finish. Try serving with new potatoes; for a Moroccan twist, toss melted butter, harissa spice mix and chopped coriander leaves through the potatoes.
