TUNA A LA MARSEILLAISE

Steps:

• To prepare the sauce, heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, and add the onion. Saute a few minutes, and add the garlic and capers. Saute, stirring for 5 minutes, and add the tomatoes and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
• To prepare the tuna, brush the steaks with olive or safflower oil. Either grill them over aromatic coals, or saute them in a nonstick skillet in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Over medium-high heat, cook 4 minutes per each 1/2 inch of thickness, turning halfway through the cooking. Watch closely because the steaks will become cotton-dry if you overcook them. The steaks should remain pink in the middle.
• Remove from heat, and serve immediately, topped with tomato-caper sauce. Leftover sauce will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.

17 TUNA RECIPES FOR EASY MEALS: TUNA PASTA SALAD & MORE!

Steps:

• Start a pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until it is just al dente. Start tasting a few minutes before the package recommends: you want it to be tender but still a little firm on the inside; usually around 7 to 8 minutes. In the last 1 minute, add the peas. Drain the pasta and peas, then rinse with cold water.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the green onions. Mince the red onion. Drain the tuna and flake it with a fork. Place them in a large bowl with the mayonnaise, white vinegar, dill, and kosher salt.
• Once the pasta and peas are cooked, add them to the bowl and mix. Taste and adjust flavors if desired, adding black pepper as necessary. Serve immediately. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days: before eating, allow to come to room temperature. You may want to add a swirl of mayo or sour cream and a pinch of salt to refresh the texture and flavor.

• Remove tuna from marinade and shake off any excess. Lightly oil grill pan and heat over medium-high heat until smoking. Grill tuna, turning once, until pale pink in center, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, make sauce:
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add diced celery and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, olives, and capers and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in basil, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and remove from heat. Spoon sauce over tuna and sprinkle with celery leaves.
