Grilled Jalapeno Tuna Steaks
Grilled Jalapeno Tuna Steaks requires about 45 minutes from start to finish. This gluten free, dairy free, and primal recipe serves 4. One serving contains 199 calories, 27g of protein, and 9g of fat. It works well as a rather expensive main course. If you have olive oil, garlic, lime juice, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for The Fourth Of July.
Instructions
Whisk olive oil, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a flat baking dish.
Place the tuna steaks in the dish, turning to coat entirely in marinade; cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Cook steaks on the preheated grill until beginning to firm and hot in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tunan on the menu? Try pairing 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. You could try Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.

The wine's multi-dimensional flavors come from grapes grown in distinctly different terroirs of Napa Valley, including the Carneros, Stags Leap and Oakville districts. Traditional techniques, including native yeasts, extended maceration, aging in French oak barrels and bottling without filtration, enhanced the wine's complexity. This wine is delicious with many entrees and cheeses. One of our favorite food pairings is roast turkey with a wild mushroom and walnut stuffing. Roast leg of lamb, rubbed with fragrant herbs and spices, or grilled pork loin also marry perfectly with the wine's luscious flavors.
