Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds tuna, about 1 inch thick, 2 or 4 steaks
  • Extra-virgin olive oil as needed
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup pitted oil-cured olives, finely chopped
  • About 1 cup mixed tender fresh herbs
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
  • Lemon wedges

Instruction

  • Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from heat source.
  • When fire is ready, rub tuna lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Put it on grill and grill about 3 to 4 minutes a side for medium-rare, more or less according to your desired degree of doneness.
  • Meanwhile, combine olives, herbs, garlic if you are using it and just enough oil to moisten and bind the mixture, no more than a tablespoon.
  • When tuna is done, spread a portion of herb mixture on 1 side of each steak and serve with lemon wedges.
