Seared Tuna Steaks With Yellow Chile Salsa Recipes

SEARED TUNA WITH CHILE-PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the rice, 2 1/2 cups water and a big pinch of salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir, then cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar and the scallion whites to the rice and stir; set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine the chile pepper, pineapple juice and lime juice in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until reduced to a thin glaze, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and wipe out the skillet. Toss the cabbage, the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar and a pinch of salt in another small bowl; set aside.
• Season the tuna with salt on both sides. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil in the reserved skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add the tuna and cook until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Divide the rice among shallow bowls. Slice the tuna and lay over the rice along with the cabbage and avocado; drizzle the sauce on top. Sprinkle with the scallion greens and corn nuts.

SESAME SEARED TUNA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, mirin, honey and sesame oil. Divide into two equal parts. Stir the rice vinegar into one part and set aside as a dipping sauce.
• Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate. Coat the tuna steaks with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press into the sesame seeds to coat.
• Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place steaks in the pan, and sear for about 30 seconds on each side. Serve with the dipping sauce and wasabi paste.

SEARED AHI TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Season the tuna steaks with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the peppercorns in the mixture until they soften and pop, about 5 minutes. Gently place the seasoned tuna in the skillet and cook to desired doneness, 1 1/2 minutes per side for rare.

SEARED TUNA STEAK

Steps:

• Smash up the chilli and the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar.
• Peel and chop the garlic, pick and finely chop the herb leaves and add it all to the pestle and mortar with a drizzle of oil and lemon juice, to taste. Mix together, and season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Lay out your tuna steaks on a tray, season both sides and rub all over with the herb mixture.
• There are two nice ways to cook it: I prefer to cook it on a griddle pan or in a frying pan.
• Your pan should be very, very hot. Put in the tuna and what you want to do is sear it so that it toasts, fries and browns (about 45 to 60 seconds on each side).
• Once cooked, I like to rip the steaks in half and serve with salad and chips or boiled potatoes and a big wedge of lemon. It's quite sexy sometimes with some marinated sun-dried tomatoes, olives, basil... The possibilities are endless.

SEARED TUNA WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Rub tuna steaks with peppercorns and set aside while you make the salsa.
• To make the salsa, section oranges, removing all peels and pith. Chop orange sections into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine orange with onion, cilantro, olive oil and lime juice. Toss together, season with salt and cayenne and set aside. Rub a cast iron grill pan with oil and heat. Grill tuna, turning once, until desired degree of rareness is reached, from 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Serve topped with citrus salsa.

YELLOWFIN TUNA WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high.
• Brush both sides of the pineapple slices with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place the pineapple on the grill and cook, rotating the slices occasionally, until slightly softened and nicely marked by the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Dice the pineapple slices (discard the tough core portions), and place the dice in a medium nonreactive bowl. Add the red onion, bell pepper, rice vinegar, jalapenos, lime juice, cilantro, and minced garlic.Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil, and stir well to combine. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and set the salsa aside.
• Season the tuna steaks with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the Original Essence, and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place the steaks on the grill, rotating them 45 degrees after 2 minutes. Cook for 2 minutes longer. Turn to the other side, grilling the steaks for an additional 2 minutes, or until medium-rare. Remove the tuna from the heat and let it rest briefly before serving it with the Grilled Pineapple Salsa. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

SEARED TUNA STEAK WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Vinaigrette:.
• Combine red pepper, serrano pepper, red onion, vinegar, olive oil, chili sauce and kosher salt to make the vinaigrette.
• Mix well and set aside.
• Fish:.
• Season tuna with salt and pepper.
• Sear tuna on a very hot skillet with olive oil.
• Cook to desired doneness (rare if preferable).
• Prepare the salsa while the fish is cooking.
• Salsa:.
• Dice the avocado into 1" cubes.
• Dice the tomatoes.
• Mix the tomato and avocado together.
• Serving Recommendation.
• Place fish on serving dish.
• Top with diced avocado and tomato.
• Splash liberally with vinaigrette.
• Garnish with cilantro.
• Serve immediately.
• Changes:.
• Again, I like to add a little soy sauce to the vinaigrette to give the flavors a little more punch, I only use 2 tablespoons olive oil in the vinaigrette to make it more bulky, and I like to garnish the fish with chopped cilantro instead of sprigs.

SEARED TUNA STEAKS WITH YELLOW CHILE SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the yellow salsa. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate until shortly before serving. Season the tuna with salt and brush all over with olive oil. 2. Heat a large stovetop grill pan or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna and cook about 3 minutes per side or until it is lightly browned on the outside and still pink inside. Serve hot with the salsa. (If you prefer tuna to be opaque inside, cook the first side 4 minutes, and the second side 3 minutes, or until barely opaque inside.)From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
