Method

  1. Put the oil into a food bag and add the tuna steaks. Rub well together and leave for 30 mins while you make the relish. Peel the cucumber, halve lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Chop the flesh into a small dice. Mix with the rest of the ingredients, seasoning to taste. Set aside.
  2. To griddle: heat the pan to hot, then cook the steaks, turning after 2 mins, and cooking for another 2 mins each side depending on the thickness of the steaks. Meaty fish is best served slightly 'pink'. Remove the steaks from the heat allow to stand for 3-5 mins, then spoon over the relish and serve.
Try

To BBQ

When the grill is ready to cook, remove the fish from the bag, dabbing off excess oil. Season and cook for barely 2 mins each side.

    Great! So quick and easy to do. Used oregano and garlic instead of chilli & parsley and tasted great. Will definitely do it again.

    I cook tuna steaks often so it was the salsa I was interested in. Both my husband & I thought it lacked something, maybe some fresh mint & coriander and a little more chilli would do the trick. Will play around with it next time. We still enjoyed it though.

    Cooked this last night and it was a hit. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the cucumber relish but have overdone it with the chilli. I put two instead of 1 1/2. Will stick to the recipe next time.

    I love this recipe! We have never tried tuna steak before & did not know what to expect. I made the salsa with chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red peppers, sweet chilli, lemon juice, mint & abit of parsley. We had it with a small jacket potato & greek salad! It took me less than 15 mins to prepare & cook it :) Id recommend it! x
