Provided by Kimberly Killebrew

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tuna steaks (,about 6 ounces each and 1 inch thick (swordfish makes a great substitute))
Extra virgin olive oil for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup sliced firm green olives ((I used Lindsay Sicilian-style Olives))
1/4 cup capers (,drained (I used Lindsay))
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

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.

SICILIAN-STYLE TUNA STEAKS (TONNO ALLA GHIOTTA)



Sicilian-Style Tuna Steaks (Tonno alla Ghiotta) image

Provided by Gianni Scappin

Categories     Fish     Olive     Onion     Tomato     Sauté     Dinner     Raisin     Seafood     Tuna     Healthy     Capers     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 (5- to 6-ounce) tuna steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons salted capers, soaked in water for 10 minutes and drained
3 tablespoons minced pitted green olives
1/4 cup raisins
5 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 cup fish stock or water, as needed
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
4 to 5 fresh basil leaves, torn
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium skillet over moderately high heat, warm the oil. Season the tuna with salt and pepper and sauté, turning once, until golden on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Remove the tuna and set aside. Do not clean the pan.
  • 2. In the same pan over low heat, sauté the onion, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, capers, olives, raisins, and tomatoes, and continue cooking, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes. If the tomatoes don't release much juice, add the fish stock or water to give the sauce some body.
  • 3. Return the tuna to the pan and cover it with a tight-fitting lid. Cook over moderate heat until the tuna reaches the desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for medium.
  • 4. Add the parsley and basil and stir to incorporate, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the fish with the sauce spooned over the top; garnish with pine nuts.

SWEET AND SOUR SICILIAN TUNA



Sweet and Sour Sicilian Tuna image

My grandmother made this recipe every Christmas Eve as part of the Feast of the Seven Fishes. We still make it today and it is my all time favorite!

Provided by JoAnna Porreca Schade

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, cut into chunks
4 tuna steaks
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook and stir until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove the onion from the skillet.
  • Place the tuna steaks in the same skillet over medium-high heat and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the tuna steaks to a serving tray; keep warm.
  • Stir the vinegar and sugar together in the same skillet until sugar is dissolved. Return the onions to the pan, and simmer until the liquid reduces and is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Return the tuna to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Place the tuna on the warm serving tray and top with the onion and sweet and sour mixture.

  • Heat three level tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized pot (that will take a lid) over medium heat. Add the sliced strips of red bell pepper, stir well to coat them with the olive oil and turn the heat down to low-medium. Cover the pot with its lid. The peppers need to soften, but not brown at all. So, keep them slowly cooking for 10 minutes with some regular stirring.
  • Melt the butter in a medium-size pot over a low heat and add the sliced garlic and sea salt. Stir the pot and let the garlic release its flavor into the butter – about 3 minutes over a stirred low heat. The garlic must not brown.
  • Put the skillet with the seared, partly cooked tuna steaks onto a medium heat and pour the sauce over them. Lift the steaks a little so that they sit in the surrounding sauce as it heats. As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, turn the heat to low and let the steaks finish their cooking for about six minutes at a very gentle simmer in the sauce. They’ll then be ready to serve – straight from the skillet, with the emerald green spinach presented alongside.
