Seared Florida Tuna Steaks with Mediterranean Relish and Herb Oil
Ingredients Seared Florida Tuna Steaks
4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted, sliced 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved 2 tablespoons capers, drained 1/4 cup fresh herbs (basil, parsley), hand torn 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup feta cheese, diced sea salt to taste fresh ground pepper to taste
Florida Herb Oil
1/4 cup fresh parsley 1/4 cup fresh basil 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1/4 cup olive oil sea salt to taste fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Seared Florida Tuna Steaks - In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine olives, garlic, tomatoes, capers, herbs, lemon juice, olive oil and feta cheese. Lightly stir ingredients to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Preheat a medium-sized sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the tuna steaks lightly with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the preheated sauté pan. Carefully add the tuna steaks to the sauté pan. Cook tuna steaks to preferred doneness (tuna cooks very quickly, and is usually served rare). To serve tuna, slice each steak in half and plate them with even amounts of relish on top. Garnish the tuna with the herb oil.
Florida Herb Oil - In a food processor or blender, add all ingredients. Blend to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. To serve, drizzle herb oil over seafood or use as a bread dipping sauce.
