Re: Tuna steaks with artichokes.
I like the recipe but wanted more artichokes with the tuna since they compliment the dish so well. I added canned artichoke hearts. I cut a 1/2 inch deep “X” in the cut end of each heart, opened it up to give it a floral appearance, and arranged them on the steaks by themselves and around the steaks with the pieces of the marinated artichokes. I then drizzled the marinade from the marinated hearts over the prep being sure to fill to capacity the opened artichokes “florettes”. I used one jar of marinated and one can of non-marinated hearts for two 1/2 lb. steaks but there was ample liquid for another steak. I offered a low-salt Tamari sauce as an optional dip.
The artichokes compliment the tuna and tone the fish well.
This dish is restaurant quality and very simple to prepare.
My compliments!
Thank you for the comment. That is a great suggestion!
I am intrigued by your recipe and the comments. You don’t tell me what to do with the garlic.
