Tuna Steaks With Lemon And Tarragon Sauce
- 4 fresh tuna steaks each about 1/2 lb each
- 2 lemons juice only
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
- 3 tablespoons tarragon fresh chopped, plus extra sprigs to garnish
- 3/4 cup vegetable stock
- 1 1/4 tablespoons cornstarch blended to a paste with 2-3 tbsp water
- 2 tomatoes deseeded and chopped
- long grain rice boiled, to serve
- lemon slices
- lettuce leaves
- Sprinkle the tuna steaks with half the lemon juice and season lightly with salt. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan and fry the tuna steaks over medium heat for 2-3 mins on each side. Remove with a spatula and cover to keep warm.
- Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the onions and garlic for 5-6 mins until softened. Stir in the tarragon, the remaining lemon juice and stock and bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch and simmer, stirring until the sauce has thickened slightly. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 1 more min. Season to taste. Serve the tuna steaks and sauce with rice and lettuce and garnish with lemon slices and tarragon sprigs.
