Ingredients:
Tuna Steaks
4 tuna steaks (8 oz. each)
Garlic salt
Seasoned black pepper
1/2 cup clarified butter
Sauce
1/4 cup clarified butter
3/4 cup chopped sweet onion
3/4 cup white wine
1 Tbs. zest of lime
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
Preparation:
Salt and pepper tuna steaks with garlic salt and seasoned pepper. Place 1/2 cup clarified butter in non-stick skillet. Sauté tuna steaks about 1-2 minutes per side. Do not over cook. Steaks should still be uncooked in the center. Remove tuna and place in warm platter and let rest in 200˚ oven. In the same skillet, add remaining clarified butter and onions to skillet and sauté until onion is soft. Add wine and zest and simmer until reduced in half. Add cream and half of the cilantro and simmer until slightly reduced. Add lime juice and remaining cilantro and bring back to simmer.
Serving Suggestion:
Spoon sauce over seared tuna steaks seasoned with garlic salt and seasoned black pepper. Add a Caesar salad and the meal is complete.
History:
While moving my potted lime tree to the upper deck, a dozen limes fell to the ground. Determined to put these limes to good use, I thawed some yellowfin tuna steaks. I had some fresh cilantro and cream in the refrigerator that also needed to be used. I never expected this sauce to turn out so well.
