Grilled tuna

A thick slice of fresh tuna seared over high heat, golden on the outside and still pink in the middle. It is flavoured with lemon and herbs, with a tender texture and a briny taste. A simple classic at shared meals on the island.

Instructions

  1. Take the tuna out of the fridge 10 minutes before cooking so it isn't cold in the centre.
  2. Finely chop the herbs and garlic. Mix them with the oil, the lemon zest and juice.
  3. Brush the tuna steaks with this marinade and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a cast-iron pan or grill over high heat until it lightly smokes.
  5. Sear the tuna for 1 minute 30 on each side. It should stay pink in the middle.
  6. Let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve with the lemon wedges.

Variations and tips

Barbecue version. Grill the steaks over the embers for 1 minute per side, basting with the rest of the marinade.
