Best Seared Tuna Steaks With Yellow Chile Salsa Recipes

SEARED AHI TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Season the tuna steaks with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the peppercorns in the mixture until they soften and pop, about 5 minutes. Gently place the seasoned tuna in the skillet and cook to desired doneness, 1 1/2 minutes per side for rare.

SEARED TUNA STEAKS WITH YELLOW CHILE SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the yellow salsa. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate until shortly before serving. Season the tuna with salt and brush all over with olive oil. 2. Heat a large stovetop grill pan or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tuna and cook about 3 minutes per side or until it is lightly browned on the outside and still pink inside. Serve hot with the salsa. (If you prefer tuna to be opaque inside, cook the first side 4 minutes, and the second side 3 minutes, or until barely opaque inside.)From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."

• Serving Recommendation.

• Splash liberally with vinaigrette.

• Again, I like to add a little soy sauce to the vinaigrette to give the flavors a little more punch, I only use 2 tablespoons olive oil in the vinaigrette to make it more bulky, and I like to garnish the fish with chopped cilantro instead of sprigs.

SEARED TUNA, YELLOWTAIL AND SALMON WITH THREE DIPPING SAUCES

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker for direct grilling over high heat.
• Thread one strip of fish per skewer, brush with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until slightly charred on both sides and still rare in the middle, about 30 seconds per side. Serve on platters with the dipping sauces in small bowls.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, garlic, lime zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste. Let stand 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
• Whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, chile-garlic sauce and sugar and season with pepper. Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and red chile flakes and cook until the ginger is soft, about 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce and lime juice and cook until the mixture is reduced by about one-quarter, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the rice vinegar and orange and limes zests and let cool to room temperature. Add the green onions and sesame seeds just before serving.

SEARED TUNA WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Rub tuna steaks with peppercorns and set aside while you make the salsa.
• To make the salsa, section oranges, removing all peels and pith. Chop orange sections into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine orange with onion, cilantro, olive oil and lime juice. Toss together, season with salt and cayenne and set aside. Rub a cast iron grill pan with oil and heat. Grill tuna, turning once, until desired degree of rareness is reached, from 2 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Serve topped with citrus salsa.

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

• Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook marinade at a simmer for 10 minutes.
• Cook tuna on preheated grill, basting with boiled marinade, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges.
