From the book, Bistro Cooking by Patricia Wells
My mom invited some family over this evening, this the eve of my departure from these islands and she said to me, “You’re cooking, right?” So. I rushed from my yoga class back home and threw this together.
To start...
Sauce
First, start with 6 tomatoes, chop it up and throw it in a bowl. Add a cup of olive oil. Then add 6 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice (we used lemons from the yard). Salt to taste. Mix together. Then let chill in the fridge for an hour to allow the flavors to blend together. Chop up some fresh herbs to throw into the sauce right before you put your fish on the broiler. I used rosemary, basil, parsley and chives.
You’ll need 2 pounds of fresh tuna. Preheat your boiler, or a cast iron skillet. Brush olive oil onto the tuna steaks. Broil the tuna steaks for 1 minute on each side.
When finished, put the steaks on your serving platter. Pour half of the sauce over the steaks and then slice the steaks into thick chunks. Put the other half into a bowl and keep on the side.
Voila!
Enjoy!
Look ma! I did it!
