Tangerine Tuna Marinade Food

TANGERINE TUNA

Steps:

• Whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow mixing bowl. Place the tuna steaks in a nonreactive baking dish and pour the marinade on top. Marinate the tuna, covered, in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes, turning the steaks once or twice. Meanwhile, preheat broiler.
• Drain the tuna steaks and blot dry. Brush the steaks with the sesame oil. Grill the tuna for one minute on each side, or until cooked to taste. Sprinkle the tuna with the chopped scallion greens and sesame seeds and serve at once.

GRILLED TUNA WITH MEDITERRANEAN HERBS

Steps:

• In a dish just large enough to fit the tuna steaks snugly in one layer, mix together the parsley, oregano, thyme, scallions, and oil.
• When well blended, lay the tuna steaks on top, turning to coat them all over with the herb mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, turning them once.
• Heat a stovetop cast iron grill. If a drop of water dropped on it evaporates immediately, it's ready. Add the tuna steaks and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Cook 5 minutes on one side then flip and cook the steaks 3-5 minutes on the other. A shorter cooking time on the second side will give you a rarer steak. Carve the tuna into ¼" slices. Serve immediately.

MARINATED TUNA STEAK

Steps:

• In a large non-reactive dish, mix together the orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Cook the tuna steaks for 5 to 6 minutes, then turn and baste with the marinade. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or to desired doneness. Discard any remaining marinade.

MARINATED SEARED TUNA

Steps:

• In a flat, shallow dish, combine the soy, rice vinegar, sambal, white and light green scallions, garlic and ginger. Add the tuna and roll around to get the marinade on all sides. Cover and let sit in the fridge for up to 2 hours, turning the tuna periodically.
• Remove the tuna from the fridge and let sit in the marinade outside of the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes.
• When the tuna has come to room temperature, remove it from the marinade. With a paper towel, gently remove some of the excess marinade.
• Coat a large saute pan with peanut oil and bring it to a VERY high heat. When the pan is VERY hot but not quite smoking, pull the pan off the heat and add the tuna to the pan. Return the pan to the heat and sear the tuna for 1 minute on each side.
• Remove the tuna from the pan, let rest for 4 to 5 minutes and slice into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with the dark green sliced scallion tops.
• Serve immediately with a little extra soy on the side if desired.

• Cover with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate 8-24 hours (turning a couple of times during chilling).
• Preheat the grill to HIGH heat.
• Oil the grill grate.
• Remove the steaks from marinade (discard any marinade) and place on a plate.
• Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
• Grill the steaks for 5 minutes per side or until rare or medium-rare (DO NOT overcook the tuna or it will be dry!).
• Delicious!

FLASH-MARINATED TUNA ON FENNEL SALAD AND TANGERINE TOMATO COULIS

Steps:

• Put the fish slices in a large bowl. Pull off and discard the two tough outer layers of the fennel bulb. Cut off and discard the stalks. Cut out the tough core; cut the bulb in half and then across in paper-thin slices. Add the fennel and the scallion slices to the fish. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, the chopped mint and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently with the fish. Cover and set in a chilled place for 10 minutes, no longer.
• Set aside 36 of the tiny currant tomatoes. Put the rest, along with the pieces of Tangerine tomatoes, through a food mill set over a 2-quart stainless-steel bowl. In a small bowl, mix the sherry vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon of cumin and minced garlic. Slowly whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil until emulsified. Whisk into the liquefied tomatoes. Add more cumin if needed and sea salt to taste.
• To assemble, divide the Tangerine tomato coulis among six 10-inch dinner plates, making a neat pool on the bottom of each plate. Mix the mesclun with the marinated tuna, adding 3 tablespoons of the sherry vinegar or to taste.
• Divide the tuna salad among the plates, putting a mound in the center of each. Near the edge of each plate, make a border of 6 evenly spaced currant tomatoes.

MARINATED TUNA

Steps:

• In a glass baking dish or a wide, shallow, nonreactive bowl, mix together olive brine and lemon juice. Gently toss in tuna slices and olive slivers. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, occasionally moving tuna slices around gently in marinade to ensure that slices cure evenly.
• Just before serving, strain the tuna slices from marinade. Divide tuna between 4 to 6 appetizer plates. Spoon a little marinade (with olive slivers) over the tuna. Grind black pepper, to taste, over each serving. Garnish with fennel and lemon zest, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Prick tuna steaks all over with a fork and place in a shallow dish.

• 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 griddle pan, basting with boiled marinade, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges if required and salad and/or couscous.
