Tuna Steaks

  • I bought fresh Tuna steaks as I know you can eat them on Phse one only I have no clue how to cook them [SBD safe that is].

    Anyone have any recipes?

    Thanks

  • I like to grill them on the George Forman grill.....I use lemon juice, spray butter, salt and pepper....
    You are doing great on the diet...This is my 3rd. week. I lost 12lbs. my first 2 weeks.

  • That's great tiger!!!

    I found an even better recipe too:

    Blackened Tuna Salad
    Four main-dish servings. From Sugar Busters Quick & Easy Cookbook.


    2 tablespoons ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
    1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 pound fresh tuna steak (about 1-inch thick), cut into 4 equal pieces
    3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
    3/4 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette (recipe follows)

    Mix the black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, lemon pepper, and salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the tuna to coat.

    Preheat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the tuna and sear for about 3 minutes per side. Mound lettuce on 4 salad plates. Top each with seared tuna and drizzle with the vinaigrette.

    [I found it to take a lot longer since I cook mine thouroughly. I also added a bit of chicken stalk, fat free and low sodium, to the bottom of the pan after the intial 6 minutes]

    Balsamic Vinaigrette
    1/2 cup olive oil
    3 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
    1 tablespoon water
    2 teaspoons minced green onion (dark green tops trimmed off)
    1/2 to 1 packet artificial sweetener (to taste)
    Pinch of ground cumin (or more to taste)
    Salt and ground black pepper to taste

    Combine all ingredients in a jar. Shake well (before each use). Serve chilled. Makes about 2/3 cup.
