Peppered Tuna

While Tracy and George took a cruise to Bermuda, we experimented with a cookbook we found on their shelf. This is one of our happy discoveries.

3 T. black peppercorns, cracked 4 6-oz. tuna steaks
salt to taste 2 T. butter
1/4 c. minced garlic 1 T. fresh tarragon, finely chopped
2 c. dry red wine  
  1. Prepare the broiler or grill.

  2. Press the cracked pepper into both sides of the tuna. Season with a little salt. Cook the steaks using the Canadian Method to compute the required time.

  3. While the tuna is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tarragon and wine, raise the heat, and boil for 4 to 5 minutes, reducing the wine to 1/2 cup. When the tuna is done, spoon the sauce over it and serve.

4 servings
