Peppered Tuna On Spicy Lima Beans Recipes

PEPPERED TUNA ON SPICY LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Prepare broiler, if using.
• Wash and dry tuna, and coat with black pepper.
• Cook lima beans with 1/4 cup water until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Prepare stove-top grill, if using. Broil or grill tuna, following the Canadian rule: measure fish at thickest part and cook 8 to 10 minutes to the inch.
• Mince garlic, and when lima beans are cooked, drain, mix with garlic, lemon juice and hot-pepper flakes.
• When tuna is cooked, season with salt and arrange on a bed of lima beans.

PEPPER CRUSTED TUNA STEAK

Steps:

• Mix the basil, thyme and the black pepper together. Season the tuna with the mixture. In a hot saute pan, add the olive oil and sear the tuna until cooked rare or to desired temperature. Remove the tuna. Then add the bok choy with the wasabi, fish stock and the soy sauce to the hot saute. Reduce the stock by a quarter. Remove from heat and ladle the soy wasabi broth into the bowls and place the cooked tuna on the top of top of the bok choy.

SEARED TUNA PEPPER STEAKS

Steps:

• Sprinkle tuna steaks on both sides with salt, then sprinkle with coarsely cracked black pepper, pressing gently to adhere. Heat sesame oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add tuna steaks and sear until brown outside and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer tuna steaks to platter. Tent platter loosely with foil to keep tuna steaks warm. Add soy sauce, then Sherry to same skillet. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is slightly reduced, scraping up any browned bits, about 1 minute. Spoon sauce over tuna steaks. Sprinkle with chives or green onion tops.

SPICY TUNA VEGETABLE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rotini until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Mix soup, sour cream, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, black pepper, and celery salt together in a bowl. Stir in rotini, tuna, mushrooms, carrots, green beans, and red onion.
• Pour into a casserole dish and sprinkle top evenly with Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 45 minutes.

PEPPER SEARED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine black pepper and sesame seeds in bowl.
• Press tuna steaks into mixture, until coated.
• Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
• Add tuna steaks and sear about 1- 1 1/2 minutes each side (I like mine rare in the center, longer if you prefer well-cooked tuna).
• Transfer steaks to tented aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Add a touch more oil to pan, then add soy sauce and sherry.
• Add garlic and most of green onion (reserving some of the tops).
• If too much has boiled off, add a bit of red wine if necessary.
• Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is slightly reduced, scraping up any brown bits, about 1 minute.
• Spoon sauce over tuna steaks, and sprinkle remaining green onion on top.
• Note: if you want to make more of this sauce, it tastes fantastic, and goes great with rices, potatoes, roasted veggies, etc.
• In the photo, I cross-cut Italian bread, drizzled with olive oil and briefly toasted.

OIL-POACHED TUNA WITH ESCAROLE AND LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Line heavy medium skillet with lemon slices. Sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper and place atop lemon. Add just enough olive oil to cover tuna. Poach tuna over medium-low heat until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer tuna to plate. Discard lemon slices.
• Discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet. Add green onion and sauté over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add escarole, lima beans, and 3 tablespoons parsley to skillet. Sauté until escarole begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide escarole-bean mixture between 2 plates and top with tuna slices. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.

SARASOTA'S SPICY GARLIC AND BACON LIMA BEANS

Steps:

• Bacon -- In a medium sauce pan, add the bacon and begin to saute on medium heat - don't try to rush it. After the bacon begins to crisp up, drain any excess drippings from the pan. I leave just enough drippings in the pan (1/2 teaspoon), to coat the onion and garlic.
• Onion and Garlic -- Add the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the pan with the bacon and saute for 2-3 minutes.
• Beans -- Finish it up. Add the broth, beans and butter and simmer uncovered (medium heat) for 5 minutes or less until the beans are warm and the broth is reduced. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve and enjoy!
