Filed under: entree — Tags: , , , , , , , — My Recipe Box @ 12:47 am

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons good olive oil, plus extra for searing
  • 1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion (2 onions)
  • 2 teaspoons peeled, minced fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 ripe mangos, peeled, seeded and small diced
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh jalapeno pepper, to taste (1 pepper)
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tuna steaks

Directions
Saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.  Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.  Add the mangos, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes.  Add the orange juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and jalapeno; cook for 10 more minutes, until orange juice is reduced, stirring occasionally.  Remove from the heat and add the mint.  Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Heat a saute pan over high heat for 5 minutes until very hot.  Season the tuna liberally with salt and pepper.  When the pan is very hot, add a drizzle of olive oil and then the tuna steaks.  Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the outside is browned, but the inside is very rare.

Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.
