It works well as a main course. Head to the store and pick up tuna steaks, chipotle pepper puree, pepper, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the canolan oil you could follow this main course with the Cherry-Apricot Turnovers as a dessert. It is an expensive recipe for fans of American food.

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 Darioush Signature Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 69 dollars per bottle.
