Ingredients:
1 3/4 pounds (800 g) fresh tuna steaks2 tablespoons olive oil Salt Freshly ground pepper 1 large red onion, sliced thin 4 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped 1/2 cup (1 dL) dry vermouth 1 teaspoon basil, crumbled
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.(220C). Rub the tuna steaks with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a skillet, saute the onion in the remaining oil until it is limp. Add the tomatoes and vermouth and cook briefly. Place the steaks in a shallow baking dish, pour on the onion-tomato mixture, and bake 12-15 minutes, depending on their thickness. Sprinkle with basilOnce in a while, fish markets will advertise fresh tuna, and it is well worth experimenting with the red-fleshed steaks and tasting the difference between them and the canned version. Swordfish and kingfish are both good prepared this way.
