Atun a la Plancha "Seared Tuna with Vegetables"

DIRECTIONS Begin with the vegetables by heating the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, peppers and garlic and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Now add the tomatoes and cook everything for about 5 minutes. Finally, add the zucchini, parsley and white wine. Cook over high heat briefly to burn off the alcohol then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Season to your taste with salt and pepper.

While the vegetables are finishing, rub each tuna steak lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper (I like lots of pepper). Heat enough olive oil just cover the bottom of a large heavy skillet or flat cooking plate. Don't add too much oil, just enough to lightly coat the pan. Heat over high heat and add the tuna. Cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes (less if you like it rare). Once the fish reaches your desired interior color, remove and place the fish on top of a nice pile of the vegetables. Squeeze some fresh lemon over the fish and enjoy!
