Grilled Tuna and Fennel With Lemon-Mint Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 small bulbs fennel, quartered
- 4 7- to 8-ounce tuna steaks, each about 1 1/4 inches thick
- 1/4 cup chopped mint
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons chopped tarragon
- Preheat a charcoal grill or a broiler.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, soy sauce and salt.
- Set aside.
- Place the fennel in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the fennel just begins to become tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Drain the fennel and brush it lightly with the oil-and-lemon mixture.
- Grill or broil until lightly browned and very tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brush the tuna with some of the oil-and-lemon mixture and grill or broil until seared but red in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a platter and surround with the fennel.
- Combine the herbs with the remaining oil-and-lemon mixture and pour it over the tuna.
- Serve immediately.
