Ingredients:
1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves, firmly
Packed
2/3 cup Mild olive oil
2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Soy sauce
1/2 tsp Fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
4 Whole tuna steaks
Strawberry Salsa
GARNISH
4 Sprigs fresh basil
Instructions:
Place the basil leaves, olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, sugar,
salt and 2 tablespoons hot water in a blender and puree.
Arrange the tuna steaks in a baking dish large enough to hold them in
a single layer. Pour the marinade over the fish. Cover and marinate
for 3-4 hours in the refrigerator - turning the steaks occasionally.
Prepare coals for grilling for preheat the broiler.
Drain the tuna steaks and grill them over medium-hot coals or broil
4-5 inches from he heat until charred on the outside but still pink
in the center - about 3 minutes - turning the steaks once. Do not
overcook. Remove from the heat and place the steaks on warmed dinner
plates.
Spoon the strawberry salsa over the tuna, garnish each with a sprig of
basil and serve immediately.
VARIATION: GRILLED TUNA WITH SAUTEED TROPICAL FRUITS: Marinate and
grill the tuna steaks as directed above. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in
a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add to the skillet 1/2 cup
each: Diced fresh banana, pineapple, mango and papaya with 2
tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon
juice and 1 tablespoon sugar. Saute just until the mixture is heated
through - about 30 seconds. Do not overcook. Season to taste with
salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon the sauteed fruit mixture
over the tuna and serve immediately.
