Grilled Tuna Steaks with Green Onions and Orange Butter
You can never have too many main course recipes, so give Grilled Tun If you have olive oil, green onions, celery salt, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the pepper you could follow this main course with the Easy Peppermint Dessert as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 20 minutes.
Instructions
Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix butter, 1 tablespoon chopped green onion and the orange peel; set aside.
In another small bowl, mix oil, celery salt and pepper.
Brush oil mixture on both sides of tuna steaks and over whole green onions.
Place tuna on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until tuna flakes easily with fork and is slightly pink in center.
Add onions to grill during last 5 minutes of grilling; turn occasionally. Cover tuna and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Serve tuna and onions with dollops of orange butter.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Tuna. 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 Nickel & Nickel Harris Vineyard Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.

Nickel & Nickel Harris Vineyard Merlot
Bright red fruits, candied blueberry, Santa Rosa plum and menthol aromas all blend together to intoxicate the nose as the 2016 Harris Vineyard Merlot wafts from the glass. On the palate, a juicy and fruity entry is supported by chewy tannins and a balancing acidity, creating lush layers that coat the tongue and produce a soft, elegant finish.
