“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."
~ Waverly Root (1903-1982)

Grilled Tuna Steaks With Lemon And Capers Recipe


Recipe Ingredients:

4 fresh tuna steaks, 1" thick - (8 oz ea), cut in half
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 shallots, finely minced
2 tsp nonpareil (small) capers, rinsed
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt, (optional), to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

Recipe Instructions:

Rinse tuna steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange steaks in a shallow glass baking dish. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, shallots, capers, and parsley. Pour over fish, turning tuna to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes or covered in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Prepare a ridged cast-iron stove top grill or outdoor grill. Season the tuna with salt (if using) and pepper to taste. For medium-rare, grill tuna about 3 minutes per side, turning once, until flesh begins to pull apart. For medium cook 2 minutes more until the flesh flakes when prodded with a fork. Remove to a cutting board to rest.

Meanwhile in a small saucepan, bring the marinade to a rapid boil. Arrange the tuna steaks on warmed dinner plates and spoon 1 tablespoon of the marinade over each steak. Serve at once.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’."
~ John Thorne, American food writer
