SPICY GRILLED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or the oven broiler.
• In a small bowl blend the salt, curry powder, black pepper, and anise and sesame seeds.
• Sprinkle the tuna steaks on both sides with the mixture. Coat evenly and press down so that the mixture adheres well to the steaks. Brush both sides with the oil. Cover with plastic and let stand for 15 minutes at room temperature.
• If the tuna is to be grilled make sure the grill is very clean and hot before cooking. Place the steaks on the hot grill. For rare, cook for about 1 1/2 minutes, turn them, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes more. For greater doneness, cook a little longer on each side. If oven-broiled, arrange the steaks on a rack and place under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 2 minutes with the door partly open. Turn the steaks and continue broiling, leaving the door open for rare. Remove, and let stand before serving.
• To serve, place the mixed green salad in the center of the plate. Cut the tuna into thin slices on the bias and place the slices around the salad.

MOROCCAN-SPICED TUNA

Steps:

• Sit the tuna steaks in a non-metallic dish and cover with two-thirds of the sauce. Cover with cling film, then leave to marinate in the fridge for about 20 mins (or for up to 4hrs).
• Heat a griddle pan or grill. Shake off any excess marinade, season the tuna steaks, then cook for 2-4 mins, depending on thickness for medium rare, turning once (cook 2 mins more for well done). Drizzle over the remaining sauce paste to finish. Try serving with new potatoes; for a Moroccan twist, toss melted butter, harissa spice mix and chopped coriander leaves through the potatoes.
