Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 0.5 oz dried porcini mushrooms
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0.5 tsp dried marjoram
  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 0.3 cup dry white wine
  • 4 tuna steaks, skinned
  • 1 lemon, juiced (half lemon)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the porcini mushrooms in hot water for about 1 hour. Remove from soaking water (reserve water if needed) and squeeze dry.

  2. 2

    Chop together porcini, garlic, parsley, marjoram, anchovies, and capers to a rough paste.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the mushroom-herb paste and sauté a few minutes. Blend in the flour and cook 1 minute. Add wine, stirring constantly, and boil a few minutes. If sauce is too thick, add a little hot mushroom soaking water. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Rinse tuna steaks and pat dry. Lay them in the pan in a single layer. Cook 2–3 minutes depending on thickness, then turn steaks and cook until no blood comes to the surface and fish is done to your liking.

  5. 5

    Ladle sauce over tuna steaks. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and serve.
