Grilled Tuna Steaks with Roasted Corn and Tomato Salsa
- 4 ears of corn, husks removed
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, coarsely chopped, plus 1 teaspoon of their oil
- 1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- 4 tuna steaks (about 1 1/2 pounds) cut 3/4-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- First make the salsa.
- Preheat the broiler.
- While it is heating, prepare the corn.
- Holding each ear upright, cut off the kernels with a sharp knife.
- Heat a large heavy-based skillet or frying pan without any fat over high heat until almost smoking.
- Add the kernels and dry-roast until tender, smoky and dark, tossing continuously as they tend to stick, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Cook the peppers under the broiler, turning them until the skin chars and bursts, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Put them in a plastic bag and leave to sweat and cool so the skins loosen.
- Peel the peppers, discarding cores and seeds.
- Dice the flesh.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large frying pan.
- Add the onion and saute until soft but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Take the pan from the heat and stir in the roasted corn, chopped tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, diced peppers, vinegar and remaining oil.
- Heat, stirring, until hot.
- Take from the heat and keep warm.
- Rinse fish steaks and pat dry with paper towels.
- Brush with half the oil, season with salt and pepper and set on oiled grill pan or grill.
- Broil 3 to 4 minutes.
- Turn steaks over, brush with the remaining oil and grill until done to taste, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, stir the cilantro and lime juice into the salsa, taste and adjust seasoning.
- Make a bed of salsa on 4 warmed plates and place a tuna steak on top of each.
- Serve at once.
