Orange and Fire Roasted Red Pepper Tuna

Grilled Orange and Fire Roasted Red Pepper marinated Tuna steak
topped with more Orange and Fire Roasted Red Pepper sauce



The sauce/marinade:

1 fire-roasted red pepper ( I did this myself last time I was grilling and just tossed it in!)
Zest and juice of one orange and lime
1/2 jalepeno, seeded
1/4 cup cilantro
~1/4+ cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
Salt
Pepper

An original creation - It was very interesting - kind of sweet and smoky! I was a little unsure about the sweetness with the meatiness of the tuna...perhaps not the best combination, but the sauce was quite good.

Next time I'll buy sashimi-quality tuna so I can try it seared and raw on the inside!
