Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and put in a roasting tin to heat up. Put the tuna in a shallow dish with half the oil, two-thirds of the garlic and leaves from 1 sprig of thyme. Leave to marinate while you cook the veg.

  • step 2

    Put the potatoes, peppers, onion and chilli into the roasting tin with the remaining oil, toss to coat, then roast for 20 mins. The potatoes should be tender or very nearly there. If not, give them another 5 mins (the cooking time can depend on the variety of potato). Add the remaining garlic and thyme to the pan, let them sizzle, stir in the tomatoes, then cook for 5 mins more until the sauce has reduced a little. Season to taste.

  • step 3

    With a few mins to go, heat a griddle or frying pan, wipe most of the garlic marinade off the fish with kitchen paper, season, then sear for 1 min each side for medium or longer if you prefer. Serve on top of the veg.

Really easy for mid week and very tasty. Be sure the Tuna steaks are not too thick - I like 1.5cm max for griddling.

Used quinoa instead of potatoes. Very yummy!

Fabulous….. a great alternative for fresh tuna. agree potato timing a bit out so par boiling might be the way forward. I used fresh ripe cherry tomatoes rather than tinned with a little purée towards the end of cooking - worked well. Will defo become a regular.

Stunning. Bistro food at its best. Yes I parboiled the new potatoes for ten minutes and then sliced as the recipe. Served with Californian Chardonnay. My guests loved.

Lovely recipe, have made this many times. I do par boil the potatoes first as mentioned before by others. I have also made this dish with Swordfish and it works perfectly.
