- Serves: 4
- Ingredient Notes: Egg-free, Gluten-free, Peanut-free, Soy-free, Tree nut-free
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons crushed fennel seeds
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks
For the garnish
- Lemon juice
- Chopped dried figs
- Capers
- Assorted olives
- Chopped parsley
- Caramelized Onion Marmalade
Directions
Place thyme, fennel seeds, olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt in a bowl and blend well. Coat tuna steaks with the mixture, pressing it into the flesh. Wrap each filet tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
Preheat your grill to high and sear tuna for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until the inside temperature is 140º F. (It will cook 5 degrees more after you remove it from the heat.) Don’t overcook the tuna. You also may do this in a heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat using a little peanut or vegetable oil.
Place tuna on a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice if you like. Scatter garnish ingredients over fish and accompany the platter with the Caramelized Onion Jam.
