Grilled Ahi Tuna with steamed Rice and sauteed Veggies




Tonight is Monday which is a gym night. That means we don't get home until around 7 or 7:30. We are starving by the time we get home so dinner needs to be quick and easy.
This is a recipe I use quite a bit. I always marinate the Tuna as long as I can. This is because Tuna is a relatively dry fish. So it needs extra moisture when it cooks so it doesn't dry out. I marinate it in Olive Oil and Herb de Provence (my favorite herb mix ever!). The herb mix is made of Oregano, Basil, Thyme, Garlic Powder and Lavender. You can buy it in any store. Then Matt takes the Tuna out and grills it for 3 minutes on each side. It's still a little raw inside but that is the best way to eat it, just like they serve Ahi Tuna in restaurants. The rice is just a simple steamed white rice that takes 20 minutes to make. While that's cooking I saute a mixture of red bellpeppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Then I just mix it with the rice. It turned out pretty good but I wanted to have cous cous instead of rice but I forgot to buy it at the store.
