Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 (6-inch long) pieces of baguette bread, halved horizontally
1/3 cup pitted green olives
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 anchovy, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (12 to 14-ounce) tuna steak
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup purchased roasted bell peppers, drained and sliced into 1/2-inch wide strips
4 thin slices red onion
4 romaine lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • Prepare the barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill the baguette pieces, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Combine the olives, capers, 1 tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, parsley, lemon zest, and anchovy in a food processor. Pulse just until the olives are finely chopped. Season the tapenade with salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the tuna with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna until golden and seared on the outside, and just opaque in the center, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Stir the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl to blend. (The tapenade and Dijon-mayonnaise can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate. Bring the tapenade to room temperature before using.)
  • Spread the Dijon-mayonnaise over the bottom and top halves of the baguette pieces. Top with red peppers and red onion. Cut the tuna steaks across the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the tuna slices atop the onions. Spoon the tapenade over the tuna. Top with the lettuce then the baguette tops, and serve.
