Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice and honey and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately low heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 25 minutes.
Roast the red and yellow peppers directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning, until charred all over.
Transfer to a bowl, cover and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel the peppers and discard the stems and seeds.
Cut the peppers into 1/2-inch dice and put them in a large skillet.
Add the reserved pepper juices and the red and yellow tomatoes and boil over moderately high heat for 2 minutes.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Grill the tuna steaks over a hot fire or over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, brushing frequently with the pineapple and honey glaze; the tuna should be nicely charred on the outside and medium rare within.
Bring the pepper ragout to a simmer.
Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter until blended. Set a tuna steak on each plate and spoon the pepper ragout alongside.
Garnish with the oregano and serve at once.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tuna can be paired with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Provenance Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 34 dollars per bottle.
Provenance Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot
Our 2006 Merlot isn't shy, with its deep, dark garnet hue and abounding aromas of rich blackcherry, cassis and clove. Approachable, integrated tannins frame the generous dark fruitflavors and coat the palate with soft velvet. The long, fruity finish, laced with autumn spices,ends with a lively cranberry zing. "This is a very classy wine from a gorgeous vintage. Takethat, Miles!" laughs Winemaker Tom Rinaldi, with a reference to the film Sideways.
