I am loving fast food supper but think that I am in danger of getting on peoples nerves!
I am big into eating fish at the moment, fueled by a little bit of a dodgy digestive system. And I am loving it! Probably sharing a few too many recipes and ideas on my Instagram page. Obviously I appreciate that no everyone is into fish but I’m on a mission to convert the Myrtle’s audience as it is FAST FOOD!
One thing that all of the dishes that I have prepared this week have in common, is that they all include our Lemon Myrtle with dill!
Lets not procrastinate – obviously you want to know what i did with it!
The Recipe: Seared Tuna Steak with fresh herbs and chilli kick.
I have created the recipe for 2 people – but only fed myself, so I used the second steak for a salad the following day.
Ingredients:
2 fresh tuna steaks
Oil
Myrtle’s Lemon Myrtle, Droitwich Brine Salt and Dill
Ground pepper
1 grated clove of garlic
1 x lemon, rind finely grated and juiced
100ml chicken stock (Fresh if you can)
1 x handful of chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
1 x handful of chopped fresh coriander leaf
6 Candied jalapeno peppers chopped (optional for a chilli kick).
Method
This is a speedy meal to prepare, so I make sure that I have everything ready. Even the salad ready on the plate.
Heat a griddle pan or frying pan (medium high heat) with a glug of oil (I used olive).
Season the tuna steaks with the dill seasoning and some black pepper.
Pop the steaks into the pan to sear. The aim is to cook one side with the lovely charred lines from the griddle. Turn and sear the other side. The time will depend upon the thickness of the steak, hopefully the centre of the steak will remain pink. My steaks were thin, about a centimetre – I only needed to fry for about 1 minute per side.
Remove the steaks from the pan and set to one side to rest. Add another glug of oil and the garlic. Followed by the chicken stock, lemon rind and juice, ramp up the heat and reduce the chicken stock by about a third. Add both chopped herbs, chilli if using and then season. Cook for a minute.
Plate up and pour the sauce and herbs over the tuna steaks.
Notes, I served mine with a salad and mashed potato under the steam as I love the way mash mops up all of the juices. It would be equally nice with a hunk of fresh bread.

Here are some useful links that I think you might find useful.
I can recommend the Cornish Fishmonger for your fish. They always have a fabulous selection and they come promptly to my home. They currently have a 10% off offer for new customers!
I believe this jar of red jalapenos, came my way via a Fabulous Food Finds Box. Katy Truss always find lots of different things to tempt! She dispatches them in a Food Finds box once a quarter and it is a real treat to receive. If you are a foody, I highly recommend.
