Tuna Steaks With Garlic Mash Potato Recipes

SEARED TUNA STEAK WITH RUSTIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the mashed potato, cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks, not too small. If they are large, quarter them and if they are small, halve them.
• Put the potato chunks in a large saucepan of boiling water, and simmer gently until they are absolutely tender - they should take about 25 minutes.
• When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and place back in the empty pan. Add the mayonnaise to the potatoes at this point and using a wooden spoon (not a masher or whisk) vigorously mash them. The finished mash should not be completely smooth, but a combination of creamy and chunky mash.
• For the tuna steaks, rub olive oil in to both sides then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a pan and chargrill for two minutes on each side.

TUNA STEAKS WITH GARLIC MASH POTATO

Steps:

• Marinate the tuna steaks in some lemon juice and pepper.
• Cut up the potatoes and boil until soft, finely chop or crush garlic cloves.
• When ready, drain water from potatoes and add garlic and a small amount of low fat milk to get desired consistency when mashing.
• Lightly spray grill or pan with oil and heat, throw tuna steaks on and cook to desired level. I usually like to keep it pink in the middle.
• Mix soy sauce and wasabi and serve in a small dish on the side or over the tuna when served.
• For the salad: Combine rocket or mixed leaves, cucumber, Spanish onion and shaved parmesan in a large bowl.
• Toss with some balsamic vinegar and serve with tuna and mashed potato.

TUNA WITH PEPPERY TOMATOES & POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and put in a roasting tin to heat up. Put the tuna in a shallow dish with half the oil, two-thirds of the garlic and leaves from 1 sprig of thyme. Leave to marinate while you cook the veg.
• Put the potatoes, peppers, onion and chilli into the roasting tin with the remaining oil, toss to coat, then roast for 20 mins. The potatoes should be tender or very nearly there. If not, give them another 5 mins (the cooking time can depend on the variety of potato). Add the remaining garlic and thyme to the pan, let them sizzle, stir in the tomatoes, then cook for 5 mins more until the sauce has reduced a little. Season to taste.
• With a few mins to go, heat a griddle or frying pan, wipe most of the garlic marinade off the fish with kitchen paper, season, then sear for 1 min each side for medium or longer if you prefer. Serve on top of the veg.
