Ingredients

Ahi Tuna Piccata - 10/18/2004

1 oz. olive oil 8 oz. Ahi tuna steak
Salt & pepper to taste 1 Tbl. thyme
1 Tbl. rosemary 1 Tbl. parsley
1 1/2 baby artichokes 2 oz. butter
2 tsp. capers 1 tsp. lemon juice
2 oz. white wine

Directions

Season tuna with salt and pepper. Mix thyme, rosemary and parsley. Press on tuna. Sear tuna in hot olive oil to form a light brown crust. Sear both sides, then finish cooking in a 500 degree oven for 4-7 minutes until tuna is medium rare.

Boil 1 quart salted water. Trim tips of artichokes and peel green layer away with a paring knife. Trim the bottom of the artichoke and cut in half. Clean the center, then blanch in salted water for 8 minutes until tender.

To make the sauce, melt 1 oz. butter in a saute pan. Add artichokes and capers. Add lemon juice and white wine. Finish with remaining butter. Serves 1.
