    Juicy tuna steaks with crispy potato wedges & salad

    Published: Feb 10, 2020 Β· Modified: May 20, 2021 Β· by Markie Β· Leave a Comment

    This is a simpler recipe for juicy tuna steaks, crispy potato wedges & salad, which make a wonderful and delicious dinner.

    Tuna belongs to my favourite types of fish for its meaty texture, tenderness and rich flavour. Also, it only takes a short while to cook, which makes it a perfect go-to dinner on busy days!

    Whilst fresh (chilled) tuna steaks can be quite expensive, I normally opt for the cheaper option - buying them frozen. The cuts are often smaller, however still tasty.

    For the recipe below, I used yellowfin tuna steak, which is widely available in UK supermarkets. To get the best value, search for it in the frozen goods section.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 x 135g yellowfin tuna steaks defrosted
    • 250 g white potatoes
    • 2 salad tomatoes
    • 1 pepper
    • ΒΌ cucumber
    • Β½ lemon juice only
    • olive oil
    • rosemary
    • salt
    • black pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Take the steaks out of the fridge. Let to rest for min 30 mins, so they reach room temperature.
    • Preheat the oven for 200C/180C fan.
    • Wash the potatoes under cold water, and scrub with a brush to remove any remaining dirt. Cut them into halves and then into 3-4 wedges of roughly the same size. Put the potatoes into a large mixing bowl, add 3 tsbp olive oil, salt and 1 teaspoon rosemary. Toss well, so that all wedges are covered in the oil and seasoning. Place on a baking tray and put on the middle shelf of the oven, preferably skin down (this way you won't have to turn them halfway through). Bake for 30-40 mins, until golden and crispy on top.
    • Prepare the salad: Wash and cut the tomatoes and cucumber into same-size bites. Wash the pepper, remove all seeds and the inner membrane and cut into small pieces. Put the vegetables in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Divide the salad into two portions and serve in small serving bowls.
    • Heat the olive oil in a frying (or griddle) pan on high heat.
    • Season the pan with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
    • Once the pan is hot enough (but not smoky!), add the tuna steaks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on top.
    • Cook the tuna to the desired level, turning occasionally (it can be cooked blue, rare, medium or well-done, just like beef steaks). For example, Β½ inch thick steak takes about 6 minutes to cook until it is cooked through yet still pink and juicy inside.
    • Set aside to rest for about 3 minutes, pour over some lemon juice and serve with potato wedges and salad.
