List of Ingredients



• One 8-ounce Ahi tuna steak
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• 1 Tbsp thyme
  
• 1 Tbsp rosemary
  
• 1 Tbsp parsley
  
• 1 ounce olive oil
  
• 1-1/2 baby artichokes
  
• 2 ounces butter
  
• 2 tsp capers
  
• 1 tsp lemon juice
  
• 2 ounces white wine
  






Instructions



1. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Mix thyme, rosemary and parsley; press on tuna. Sear tuna in hot olive oil to form a light brown crust. Sear both sides, then finish cooking in a 500-degree oven for 4 to 7 minutes, until tuna is medium-rare.
   
   
2. Boil 1 quart salted water. Trim tips of artichokes and peel green layer away with a paring knife. Trim the bottom of the artichoke and cut in half. Clean the center; then blanch in salted water for 8 minutes, until tender.
   
   
3. To make the sauce: Melt 1 ounce butter in a saute pan. Add artichokes and capers. Add lemon juice and white wine. Finish with remaining butter.
