Grilled Thai-Spiced Tuna Steak

Grilled Thai-Spiced Tuna Steak

Red curry paste gives this tuna dish spiciness and depth of flavor. The sweetness from the vibrantly colored accompanying salad balances the heat and adds a burst of fresh flavor to the meal. Use less curry paste, if you prefer.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 tuna steak and 1 lime wedge)

 

Ingredients:

•  4 (6-ounce) sushi-grade tuna steaks (1 inch thick)

•  1/2 teaspoon salt

•  1 tablespoon olive oil

•  1 tablespoon red curry paste (such as Thai Kitchen)

•  Cooking spray

•  4 lime wedges

 

Preparation:

1.  Prepare grill.

2.  Sprinkle fish with salt. Combine olive oil and curry paste; brush over fish.

3.  Place fish on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 2 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with lime wedges.

 

Serve with: Edamame and Roasted Red Pepper Salad

Brazilian Grilled Flank Steak

On By

From EatingWell: February/March 2006, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)

Barbecued meats (churrasco) are served in churrascarias, Brazilian barbecued-meat restaurants, with a salsa-like sauce as an accompaniment. Since hearts of palm show up at every salad bar in these restaurants, we’ve added them to the sauce to give it a tasty twist.

8 servings

Active Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

STEAK:

• 6 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 small hot pepper, such as jalapeño or serrano, minced

• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

• 2 pounds flank steak

 

SALSA:

• 1 14-ounce can hearts of palm, drained, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

• 4 medium tomatoes, chopped

• 1/2 cup chopped red onion

• 1/2 small hot chile, such as jalapeño or serrano, minced

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

• 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

 

PREPARATION:

1.  Preheat grill to high (see Broiling Variation).

2.  To prepare steak: Combine garlic, hot pepper, oil and salt in a small bowl. Rub the mixture on both sides of steak.

3.  To prepare salsa: Combine hearts of palm, tomatoes, onion, hot pepper, cilantro, vinegar and salt in a medium bowl.

4.  Reduce grill heat to medium and grill the steak 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain into thin pieces. Serve with the salsa.

 

TIPS & NOTES:

Broiling variation:

Instead of grilling, in Step 1 position oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat broiler. In Step 4, cook steak on a broiler pan under the broiler until medium-rare, turning once, about 10 minutes total.

Grilled Portobello “Steak” Sandwiches with Blue Cheese Sauce

On By

From EatingWell: May/June 1997, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)

 

4 servings

Active Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

 

INGREDIENTS:

• Blue Cheese Sauce, (recipe follows)

• 3 teaspoons walnut oil, or extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 4 slices whole-wheat country bread

• 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

• 4 portobello mushroom caps, 3-4 inches in diameter

• 1 sweet onion, such as Vidalia, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

• Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

• 2 cups trimmed arugula, or watercress

• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

 

PREPARATION:

1.  Preheat a grill to medium-high.

2.  Prepare Blue Cheese Sauce. Set aside.

3.  Dip a pastry brush in water, then lightly brush 1 teaspoon oil over both sides of bread. Grill (or toast) the bread, about 1 minute per side. Set aside.

4.  Lightly brush tomatoes, mushrooms and onion slices with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the vegetables (or pan-sear in batches) until browned on both sides: about 1 minute per side for tomatoes, 3 to 5 minutes per side for mushrooms and onion. Cut mushrooms into 1/2-inch-thick slices and separate onion slices into rings.

5.  To assemble, spread the reserved cheese sauce over the grilled bread. Divide arugula (or watercress) among the bread slices and arrange the grilled vegetables on top. Sprinkle with walnuts. Serve immediately.

 

TIPS & NOTES:

To oil a grill: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.

triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute

Enjoy delicious grilled toppings in this main-dish salad, like grilled steak, grilled tomatoes, and grilled sweet potatoes.

 

Ingredients:

2.  Meanwhile, fold 30- by 12-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil crosswise in half. Place tomatoes on double thickness of foil; bring long sides of foil up and fold several times to seal well. Fold over ends of foil to seal in juices.
