GRILLED TUNA w/ HERB BUTTER


Ingredients

  • 4-6 ounce tuna steaks
  • 4 ounces herb butter (recipe follows)
  • 4 bunches of Mixed Greens (Todd uses cover crop harvested from the vineyard)
  • 4 breakfast radishes, shaved
  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Flake salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 ounces Rosé dressing (recipe follows)

Method

  • Set the EGG for direct cooking at 650°F.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper and grill on each side for 2-3 minutes, rotating the fish ¼ turn – halfway through the cooking on each side – to achieve beautiful cross-hatched grill lines. Once you have given the fish a ¼ turn on the second side put an ounce of the herb butter on each piece of fish and finish cooking. Fish will be a beautiful medium-rare.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the smashed garlic, lemon zest, juice and olive oil and heat on the Big Green Egg.
  • To serve, arrange the washed cover crop on four plates, drizzle with garlic lemon oil to start the wilting process, sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Place grilled fish on top of the salad. Garnish with shaved radishes and a drizzle of the rosé vinaigrette.
