Tuna steaks produce two elegant dishes

The classic flavors of Provence dress up rich tuna steaks in a meal beautiful enough for company. Fresh tuna is a luxurious fish (also low in saturated fat and high in omega-3 fatty acids), prized by sushi chefs. Bluefin is endangered, so buy your tuna from a reputable market that offers sustainable fish. Sear tuna steaks on both sides, creating a browned crust, then finish in the oven over a bed of sauteed onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Tangy capers and olives balance the sweetness of the vegetables, fresh herbs add brightness. Don’t skip the anchovies; the pieces will melt into the dish and supply the savory fifth taste of umami.
