How do I prepare a fresh tuna steak?!
Answers: Salt and pepper, rub a little olive oil on it. Put it on the grill or frying pan and cook. When the skin starts to change consistency, you're done.
Griddled Tuna on Coriander Rice
Per person, you will require:
Fresh tuna fillet
3oz (75g) basmati rice
Generous handful of coriander, cilantro in US (roughly chopped)
3 tomatoes (deseeded and finely chopped)
2 large garlic cloves (very finely chopped)
1 spring onion, scallion in US (finely chopped)
3 inches of cucumber (peeled, deseeded and finely chopped)
1 red Birds' Eye chilli pepper (finely chopped, seeds in)
Extra virgin olive oil
Few drops of white wine vinegar
Salt/freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or sunflower oil for griddling
Mix the tomatoes, garlic, spring onion, cucumber, chilli pepper and half of the coriander with a good splash of extra virgin olive oil, season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover with clingfilm and place in the fridge for about an hour for the flavours to infuse, or even better, prepare this the night before!
Boil the rice as per the instructions on the packet and when ready, mix through the remaining chopped coriander and season with salt.
Oil the tuna fillets lightly with vegetable or sunflower oil (do NOT oil the pan) and cook for about a minute each side on a very hot griddle pan. The fillets should be cooked on the outside only and remain deliciously moist and pink in the centre. Place them on the bed of rice and spoon some salsa over the top. If you do not have a griddle pan, an ordinary, non-stick frying pan can be used, but the fillets should be cooked for slightly longer.
