Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Fresh tuna steaks
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup, crumbled Feta cheese
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Brush them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the tuna steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips.
While the tuna rests, prepare the salad base. Rinse and chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber, and finely slice the red onion. Add these, along with the Kalamata olives, to the salad bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and remaining black pepper to make the dressing.
Toss the salad with the dressing until evenly coated. Add the crumbled feta cheese and gently toss again.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled tuna and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Tuna Salad Santorini!
