Recipe: Asian Grapefruit Orange Enhanced Tuna Steaks

This simple and tasty recipe combines the mild meatiness of tuna with the tangy flavors of grapefruit and orange and Asian seasonings for a taste combo that will make your tastebuds sing. It's a fairly easy and quick recipe, but fancy enough that your dinner guests will think you slaved over it!

Asian Grapefruit Orange Enhanced Tuna Steaks
(Serves 4.)

Ingredients:

2 tsp red or white wine vinegar
2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
1 medium orange, peeled and sectioned
2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 tsp olive oil 
4 fresh tuna steaks
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, ginger and 1 tbsp olive oil.
  • Cut grapefruit sections and orange sections in bite size pieces and add to bowl with sauce, then add the red onion, and two tbsp cilantro; then set aside.
  • Prepare fish: Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add tuna steaks and cook quickly for about eight minutes, turning once. If you have good tuna, it doesn't need to be cooked through, but that is a personal choice.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Serve the fish with grapefruit orange relish spooned over.
