Ingredients
UnitsScale
Tuna Steaks:
4 tuna steaks (6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Mango Chutney:
1 large ripe mango (peeled, pitted, and diced)
1/4cup red onion (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
1 small garlic clove (minced)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Marinate the Tuna: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the tuna steaks and let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
Prepare the Chutney: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mango, red onion, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10–12 minutes until the mango is soft and the chutney thickens. Stir in cilantro.
Grill the Tuna: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the tuna steaks for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
Serve: Top the grilled tuna steaks with the warm mango chutney and serve hot.
Notes
This dish pairs well with coconut rice, grilled asparagus, or a light salad.
