Tuna Steak With Risotto Recipes

SICILIAN-STYLE GRILLED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Brush the tuna with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the grill and brush the cooking grates with oil.
• Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat and cook the garlic for a minute. Add the tomatoes and cook for another couple of minutes. Add the wine and bring to a rapid boil for two minutes. Add all remaining ingredients except for the parsley and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and remove from heat.
• Sear the tuna steaks over high, direct heat for 1-2 minutes on each side. (For the best texture and to prevent becoming dried out tuna should be rare to medium rare on the inside.)
• Serve the tuna steaks immediately topped with the sauce.

BAKED RISOTTO WITH TUNA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Place a large (about 12-cup) ovenproof dish over medium heat, about 1 minute. Add in the olive oil, the onion, garlic and sea salt. Saute until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice to the dish and stir for another minute or until the rice is lightly coated in oil and light gold in color.
• Add the stock and the tomatoes to the dish. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the tuna, zucchini, and season with the black pepper, to taste. Cover the dish, with a lid or aluminum foil, and bake until the rice is tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Scatter the parsley over the top of the risotto and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired, before serving.

TUNA RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet and add rice and garlic. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes until rice is coated with oil and starts to turn a bit golden in spots.
• Add wine, pepper, and 1 cup chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook mixture for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed.
• Add about 1/2 cup of the remaining broth, stirring the rice until liquid is absorbed.
• Continue until the rice is tender, and the risotto is the consistency you want.
• Add lemon juice, spinach, lemon peel, and tuna. Cook and stir gently until spinach is wilted.
• Stir in butter until melted along with 1/2 cup cheese. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and serve.

TUNA STEAK WITH RISOTTO

Steps:

• Risotto:.
• Sauté onion in butter until soft.
• Add rice to onion mixture and coat rice with mix.
• On a lower heat, add ½ cup broth and 2 tbsp lemon juice.
• Stir constantly and add another ½ cup of broth.
• Repeat with ½ cup broth, ½ cup water until rice is tender but not mushy. It should be done slowly, and not all liquid needs to be used.
• Stir in cheese.
• Tuna:.
• Baste tuna in Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice.
• sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the steak.
• On high heat, add oil or spray to a saute pan and wait for it to heat.
• Sear the tuna on each side for only 1-2 minutes. Tuna steaks should be eaten with pink in the middle and should not be over cooked.
• Serve with lemon.

TUNA RISOTTO FROM THE PANTRY

Steps:

• Drain the tuna over a bowl. Stir the tuna water into the chicken or vegetable stock. Taste and add more salt as needed for a well-seasoned stock. Break up the tuna in a bowl, and add to it 1 of the garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and the parsley. Set aside.
• Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan and turn the heat to low.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan or wide saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add the remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, for about a minute, until the garlic is fragrant, and stir in the anchovies and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and well coated with the tomato mixture, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the wine and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates. When the wine has just about evaporated, rub the saffron between your fingertips and stir in, along with a ladleful or two of the simmering stock, enough to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often and vigorously, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful of the stock and continue to cook in this fashion, not too fast and not too slowly, adding more stock when the rice is almost dry, for 20 to 25 minutes. Taste a bit of the rice. It should taste chewy but not hard in the middle. Definitely not soft like steamed rice. If it is still hard in the middle, you need to keep adding stock and cook for another 5 minutes or so. Taste and adjust salt.
• When the rice is cooked al dente, stir in the tuna mixture and peas and add another ladleful or two of stock and several twists of the peppermill. Stir for a couple of minutes, taste and adjust seasonings. The mixture should be creamy. Add a little more stock if it is not. Spoon onto plates or wide soup bowls and serve.
