Tuna Steaks with Lemon Caper Sauce Recipe

Tuna Steaks with Lemon Caper Sauce Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons drained capers
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 8 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tuna steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)
  1. Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, mash the capers with a fork. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper and then 6 tablespoons of the oil.
  2. Coat the tuna with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill or broil the tuna for 4 minutes. Turn and cook until done to your taste, 3 to 4 minutes longer for medium rare. Serve the tuna topped with the sauce.
