Grilled Tuna Steak With Stuffed Mushrooms Food

TUSCAN-STYLE GRILLED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Rinse and pat tuna steaks dry. Place zest on top of cutting board. Pile rosemary and parsley leaves on top of zest. Pile garlic and some coarse salt and black pepper or grill seasoning on top of herbs. Finely chop the garlic, herbs, and spices. Drizzle the olive oil over the tuna steaks just enough to coat each side. Rub herb and garlic mixture into fish, coating pieces evenly on each side. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Grill tuna steaks 6 minutes on each side or 4 minutes on each side, if you prefer pink tuna at the center. Cook steaks over: high setting on indoor electric grill, medium high heat on outdoor gas grill or, 6 inches from hot, prepared charcoal.
• Serving suggestions: garlic toasts or grilled crusty bread
• Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl or large food storage plastic bag. Coat mushroom caps evenly in marinade.
• Place mushroom caps on the grill cap-side-up and season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper. If you are using an indoor tabletop electric grill, preheat to 400 degrees F or "high" setting. If you are using an outdoor gas grill, preheat to medium high; for a charcoal grill, prepare coals and cook mushrooms 6 inches from hot coals. Mushrooms will cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Cook mushrooms covered or under tin foil tent and turn occasionally.
• Combine tomatoes, rosemary, and smoked mozzarella. Drizzle with oil and toss.
• Fill mushroom caps with tomato mixture and top with sliced mozzarella. The mushrooms will look like small pizzas. Place caps in oven at 425 degrees F until cheese melts or you can close grill lid or replace tin foil tent over mushroom caps to melt cheese, it will take 1 to 3 minutes. Serve as-is or, place stuffed caps on garlic toast or sliced crusty bread to catch the juices.

GRILLED TUNA STUFFED WITH MESCLUN

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler. In a medium bowl or blender, add lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, pepper and 2 tablespoons water. Whisk or blend until emulsified. Soak greens in this mixture while preparing the tuna.
• Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife like a boning knife, make a small horizontal incision halfway down any side of the tuna steak. Insert the knife almost to the opposite edge of the steak, then swing it back and forth, turning the knife as necessary to keep the blade facing the direction you're cutting. The goal is to create a large pocket. Be careful not to cut through the top, bottom or opposite edge of the tuna, and try to keep the entry point relatively small.
• Drain the greens of excess marinade and cram them into the pocket; you can overstuff as long as you don't tear the tuna (the tuna won't shrink, nor will the greens expand). If the pocket opening is small, seal it with a toothpick; if it's more than an inch or two wide, use two skewers. Marinate the tuna in the remaining soy mixture until the grill is hot, or up to an hour at room temperature or several hours refrigerated.
• Grill the tuna, turning once, a total of about 6 minutes an inch of thickness (if your steak is 1 1/2 inches thick, for example, turn it after about 4 minutes and cook 4 or 5 minutes more). Season with salt and pepper, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve.

PEPPERED TUNA WITH PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the tuna steaks on both sides with two tablespoons of the olive oil, and press in the cracked black pepper and sea salt. Preheat grill.
• Heat the remaining oil in a skillet, and saute the mushrooms until crisp. Toward the end of cooking, add the garlic and cook through. Add the beans and the thyme, and cook for a minute or two over moderate heat.
• Grill the tuna for three to four minutes on each side. (Rare is preferable, but cook the fish more if you want it more done.)
• Slice the tuna steaks on the bias. Arrange the vegetables down the center of an oval serving dish, and put the tuna slices on top. Garnish with lemon quarters and thyme sprigs.

GRILLED STEAKS WITH RED WINE MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow dish large enough to hold the steaks in a single layer, combine the wine, soy sauce, vinegar, thyme, pepper and half of the garlic. Place the steaks in the marinade and turn them over to thoroughly coat. Set them aside to marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat the broiler or prepare the grill. If broiling, line a broiler pan with foil.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic, the scallions and mushrooms and saute until the scallions are limp and the mushrooms are beginning to release their liquid, two to three minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until it is no longer visible, about 30 seconds.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Stir the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook, stirring, until the mixture has come to a boil and thickened slightly, one to two minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer while you cook the steaks.
• Grill or broil the steaks four inches from the heat; 7 minutes per side for rare, 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, 9 minutes per side for well-done. Let the steaks rest for five minutes before serving.
• Serve the steaks topped with the red wine mushroom sauce.

STUFFED TUNA STEAKS

• Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to make a small incision on any side of the tuna steak, creating a pocket, being careful not to cut through to the other side.
• You can also make a small cut and then either wiggle the knife around gently or just start slowly easing the inside apart to create a large pocket.
• Place the tuna in the soy mixture, covering each side.
• Remove tuna from liquid, letting excess sauce drip off.
• Toss the greens with the sauce, drenching it in the liquid.
• Stuff the tuna pocket with the greens and seal the opening with toothpicks.
• Grill or broil the tuna, turning once, about 5 minutes per inch of thickness, or however well-done you like your tuna.
