Ingredients for 4 servings
- 4 tuna or bonito steaks of approximately 160 gr each
- 200 gr of sautéed porcini mushrooms cut into small dice
- 1 garlic clove, germ removed and chopped
- A few fresh herbs
- 20 cl of red wine sauce
First of all, you should know that tuna is prepared not like fish, but like meat, all Basques will tell you so. Therefore, don't be afraid and try it. I advise you to prepare a Bordeaux sauce to serve with it.
Cooking tuna is similar to cooking beef: seared in a pan and served rare.
1- So, sear your tuna steaks in very hot olive oil, salt and pepper and cook for two minutes on each side, then remove them and keep them covered and warm.
2- In the same pan, add the porcini mushrooms already sautéed, add your peeled and chopped garlic and then the fresh herbs.
Serve these seared tuna steaks with porcini mushrooms on hot plates, the seared steaks in the center, the porcini mushrooms nicely arranged on top and a drizzle of Bordeaux sauce around.
