Recipe Introduction
serves 4
List of Ingredients
4 tuna steaks -- ( 3/4-1-inch thick about 6 oz. each)
1 lime
2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vegetable oil -- (1 to 2)
Recipe
Rinse the tuna steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Grate the zest from the
lime (you should have about 1 1/2 tsp.), then squeeze the juice and set
aside. In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, thyme, pepper and salt;
stir to mix. Lightly rub both sides of the tuna steaks with oil and
set on a broiler pan. Sprinkle the tops of the steaks evenly with about
half of the lime zest mixture and let sit for 10 minutes. Preheat the
broiler and set the rack 2 to 3 inches from the heat
source. For medium-done steaks, broil the tuna for 1 to 2 minutes, turn and
sprinkle with the remaining lime zest mixture.
Continue broiling until just pink in the center (cut to test), 1 to 2 minutes
longer. For well-done steaks, broil about 3 minutes on each side. Do not
overcook the tuna or the meat will become dry and lose its flavor. Pour the
lime juice over the tuna steaks right after you take them from the oven, then serve.
You can use 1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest and 2 Tbsp.lemon juice in place of the
lime if you like.
