TUNA STEAKS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onions; cook about 15 minutes or until onions are golden brown, stirring occasionally.
• Add peppercorns, bay leaf and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Move onions to side of skillet. If necessary, add additional oil to skillet. Increase heat to high. Add tuna steaks; cook about 3 minutes or until browned on both sides.
• Reduce heat to medium; cook 4 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork, stirring onions occasionally. Serve tuna steaks with onions.

GRILLED TUNA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, CINNAMON AND MINT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onions, sugar, cinnamon and red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes. Stir in a few tablespoons of water and the vinegar. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the mint and chopped parsley just before serving.
• Heat the grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the tuna on both sides with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 2 minutes each side.
• Slice the tuna steaks thickly across the grain and shingle them on a serving platter. Spoon the onion mixture down the center. Keep at room temperature about 15 minutes before serving.

SICILIAN TUNA STEAKS IN ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• SAUCE:.
• Saute the onions in olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
• Add salt and cook, stirring until they are limp.
• Stir in vinegar and sugar, and cook over a slightly lower heat until the vinegar has evaporated.
• I caution you, the escaping steam will take your breath away so stay well away from the skillet when possible, but do perservere!
• When vinegar has evaporated, add cayenne or tabasco, mix well and remove from heat.
• The sauce should still retain the texture of the onions and yet retain enough moisture to be spoonable.
• Cover and keep warm.
• TUNA:.
• Over medium heat, add olive oil and bay leaves to a skillet large enough to hold tuna steaks in one layer.
• When the oil is warm, not hot, add tuna and salt and pepper to taste.
• Saute 2-3 minutes per side, but this will depend on thickness of steaks and your doneness preference-- we like ours on the rare side.
• Raise heat, add wine, and cover pan a second or two, just until the wine has stopped steaming.
• Uncover skillet, cook 30 seconds longer, then transfer tuna to plates.
• Spoon the onions and sauce over the top of each, and serve.
