Seared Tuna Steaks with Lime & Coriander Salsa

You'll love the meaty texture of fresh tuna steaks, marinated in a bottlegreen Lime Cordial and olive oil mixture, then char-grilled and served with a spicy salsa.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp bottlegreen Lime Cordial
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 x 175-200g (6-7oz) fresh tuna steaks
• 1 red onion, finely sliced
• 1 fresh red chilli, finely chopped
• 1/4 cucumber, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
• 300g (10oz) fine green beans
• 4 tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. 1. Put 2 tbsp of the bottlegreen Lime Cordial into a shallow dish with 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Season with a little salt and black pepper. Add the tuna steaks, turn them to coat, then cover and leave to marinate for about 15 minutes.
2. 2. Meanwhile, make the salsa by mixing the remaining lime cordial with the red onion, chilli, cucumber and coriander. Season. Cover until ready to serve.
3. 3. Cook the green beans in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Drain well and mix with the tomatoes and remaining olive oil.
4. 4. Heat a char-grill pan or pre-heat the grill. Char-grill or grill the tuna steaks on a high heat for about 2 minutes per side – or a little longer if you prefer the tuna to be more thoroughly cooked. Serve with the green beans and salsa.
