Tuna steaks have a different texture from canned tuna. If you’ve never had it before, consider making a small amount first to see if you like it.

  2. Grilled Eggplant With Herbs
  3. Grilled Spiced Trout Fillets
Grilled Tuna With Orange Sauce

 

If you're tried of the standard BBQ fare, toss a couple of tuna steaks on the grill. This fish is low-fat, heart-healty and high in vitamin D.


 

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 35  minutes

Serves: 4

 

Ingredients

1¼ cups (300 mL) orange juice with pulp
1 cup (250 mL) pieces of peeled orange (about two oranges)
2 tuna steaks, cut in half
1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
2 green onions, chopped
½ cup (125 mL) white wine
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh dill
2 tbsp (30 mL) grated orange rind
½ tsp (2 mL) black pepper
½  tsp (2 mL) salt
½  cup (125 mL) sour cream
½  cup (125 mL) table cream or half-and-half cream
Grilled orange slices for garnish

 

Directions

  1. In a shallow glass dish, combine 1 cup (250 mL) of the orange juice and ½ cup (125 mL) of the orange pieces. Marinate the tuna in orange mixture for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and sauté onions until tender.
  2. Add wine and raise heat, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes to reduce liquid. Add remaining ¼ cup (50 mL) of orange juice, remaining ½ cup (125 mL) of orange pieces, dill, orange rind, pepper and salt, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream and cream; allow liquid to thicken, stirring constantly.
  3. Do not boil or sour cream will curdle. Keep sauce warm.
  4. Grill tuna, occasionally brushing with marinade, 3 to 4 minutes on each side until tuna turns light. Serve tuna with sauce, garnished with orange slices.
