Tuna Steaks With Anchovy Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or indoor/outdoor grill to high. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the tuna steaks spread it around then season with salt and pepper.
• Combine tomatoes, onions, parsley and basil in a bowl. Dress with extra-virgin olive oil, enough to coat the tomatoes evenly, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper, to taste. Let the sauce marinate at least 10 minutes.
• When you are ready to eat, grill steaks 2 minutes on each side for rare, 3 minutes for medium and 4 for opaque, well done. Stir sauce up then serve liberal amounts of it on top of the steaks.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Empty tuna into a bowl and mash with a fork while pasta is cooking. Mix with 2 tablespoons olive oil, basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet and fry the anchovies for 3 minutes. Add capers and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 3 minutes. Add tuna mixture and tomatoes; simmer sauce for about 5 minutes.
• Drain pasta and add to the sauce. Mix well. Stir in parsley before serving.

Steps:

• Cook 1 sliced shallot in 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until softened, 4 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons capers; cook 1 minute. Add one 14-ounce can cherry tomatoes; cook, stirring, until the tomatoes burst, 5 minutes. Smash with a spatula, then stir in one 7-ounce can Italian oil-packed tuna, breaking it into chunks. Toss with 12 ounces cooked spaghetti and 3 tablespoons olive oil, adding up to 3/4 cup pasta-cooking water to loosen the sauce; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Wipe the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Squeeze the lemon juice over the steaks and sprinkle them with half the olive oil. Leave to marinate while you prepare the sauce.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large heavy frying pan. Saute the onion and garlic until soft. Mash the anchovies into a paste and add. Cook for two minutes.
• Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, tomato paste and red wine. Season with salt and pepper and simmer gently, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes. The sauce should be thick but if it gets too dry, add a little more wine or water.
• Place the tuna steaks in the pan with the sauce. Cover and cook for five minutes. Turn over, cover, and cook another five minutes, or until done. Do not overcook. Garnish with parsley and capers and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Put the chives, basil and mint in a small food processor with the lemon zest and juice, oil and mustard. Blitz to a purée. Take out 2 tbsp to use as a coating for the fish, then stir the capers and anchovies into the rest.
• Cook the runner beans in boiling salted water or steam for 5 mins until tender but still with a little bite.
• Brush the tuna with the reserved herby mixture and griddle for 2-3 mins each side until cooked but still a little pink in the centre. Toss half the caper dressing through the warm beans with the parsley and pile onto plates. Top with the tuna, spoon over the remaining dressing and scatter with the almonds and mint leaves.

Steps:

• Directions for the tuna: Place the tuna steaks in a 9 x 12-inch ceramic or glass baking pan and add the olive oil, white wine, onion, parsley, thyme, bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 2 hours, turning once. Remove the fish from the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling. Prepare a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill for 15 minutes on high. You may also use a stovetop grill pan. Remove the tuna from the marinade and place on the grill. Cook, basting with olive oil and turning only once, until deep black grid marks appear, about 3 1/2 minutes on each side. Directions for the anchovy sauce: In a mortar, pound the anchovy fillets, garlic and parsley with a pestle until a pest . Slowly pound in the olive oil and lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the grilled tuna and serve with additional lemon wedges.

Add fish to skillet and cook until light brown at edges but pink in center, about 3 minutes per side. Pour in tomato mixture. Simmer until fish is opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer. Serve fish immediately.
