Grilled Tuna And Fennel With Lemon Mint Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, peanut oil, and sesame oil. Add the papaya and onions and mix well. Add the cucumber, mint, basil, sugar, and white pepper and refrigerate covered in a non-reactive bowl for 2 hours to let the flavors marry. Will keep 24 hours covered, refrigerated.
• For the tuna: Preheat a grill to high heat. Drizzle the tuna with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the tuna on the grill and sear on each side for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The inside should be raw. Remove the tuna from the grill. Slice the tuna into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Serve the tuna with the vinaigrette.
• Preheat a grill.
• Peel and halve the papaya. Scoop out seeds, season with salt and chile oil. Grill for 2 minutes, or until grill marks appear and papaya softens. Dice when cool.

Steps:

• Mix together the oranges, fennel, scallion, currants, vinegar and honey in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat grill. Rub each tuna steak on both sides with the mint leaves and brush with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and grill for 2 minutes on each side for rare or longer for desired doneness.

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or a broiler. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, soy sauce and salt. Set aside.
• Place the fennel in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the fennel just begins to become tender, about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the fennel and brush it lightly with the oil-and-lemon mixture. Grill or broil until lightly browned and very tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the tuna with some of the oil-and-lemon mixture and grill or broil until seared but red in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and surround with the fennel. Combine the herbs with the remaining oil-and-lemon mixture and pour it over the tuna. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place tuna steaks and olive oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the grill for medium heat. When coals are very hot, scatter a handful of hickory or mesquite wood chips over them for flavor.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Season tuna with salt and pepper, and cook on the preheated grill approximately 6 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a serving platter, and drizzle with freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To make the slaw, whisk together in a large bowl the zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Add the fennel, toss and refrigerate for 1 hour. Carefully wrap the fennel fronds in plastic to keep them fresh, then refrigerate.
• When ready to serve, generously season the tuna on both sides with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is very hot, add the oil and immediately add the tuna. Cook, turning once, until the tuna is seared on the outside but still very pink at the center, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on its thickness.
• Slice the tuna into thin slices. Lay them over 4 serving plates, place a mound of slaw in the center of each plate, garnish with the chopped fennel fronds and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Remove 1/3 cup to a small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add tuna. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 1 hour., Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill tuna, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until slightly pink in the center, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
