Grilled Tuna Steak with Harissa Roasted Potatoes and Vegetables

Yields: 2

Preparation time: 15 mins

Cooking time: 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 tuna steaks (about 200g each)
  • 400g baby potatoes or potato wedges
  • 1 small sweet potato, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • Handful cherry tomatoes
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or coriander) to serve

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 210°C / 190°C fan. Halve or quarter the potatoes and toss with the sweet potato wedges in 2 tbsp olive oil, harissa, cumin, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking tray.
  • Roast the potatoes for 30-35 minutes, adding the sliced peppers and cherry tomatoes for the final 15 minutes, until everything is caramelised and the potatoes are crispy at the edges.
  • Season the tuna steaks with salt, pepper and a little olive oil. Heat a griddle pan to very high.
  • Grill the tuna for 2 minutes per side for a pink centre, longer if you prefer it cooked through. The steaks should have good char lines from the griddle.
  • Squeeze lemon over the tuna as soon as it comes off the pan. Serve alongside the harissa potatoes and roasted vegetables, scattered with fresh herbs.
