This is a different way to prepare tuna than I usually do, I found this recipe and it sounded really good so I thought I would try it. I really enjoyed it as something different and it all came together really well. I served ours over asparagus, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. I made a few changes to the original recipe which I have listed below but if you would like to view the original recipe please click here.

Ingredients
1 Cup Italian salad dressing
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 Teaspoon red pepper
1/2 Teaspoon tarragon leaf
2lbs Tuna steaks (1 inch thick)
1/4 Cup butter
1/2 Cup chopped onion
1 Cup chopped green onion
1/2 Cup chopped bell pepper
1 Tablespoon lemon juice (extra)
1 Teaspoon vegetable stock powder
1 Cup cream cheese
1 Cup half-and-half cream
1 Cup chopped cooked shrimp (I kept mine whole)
11/2 Tablespoons tarragon, chopped finely (extra)
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
Method
1. Combine salad dressing, lemon juice, garlic powder, red pepper, and tarragon leaves in a 2-quart mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly. Add tuna steaks to the blended marinade sauce, coating each steak thoroughly with the sauce. Cover tuna steaks and refrigerate at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
2. Remove tuna steaks from marinade sauce and cook in a lightly oiled, heated pan until cooked as desired. I like mine quite pink so I cook mine 3-4 Min’s per side depending on the thickness
3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, green onions, and bell pepper. Saute until vegetables soften.
4. Add lemon juice, stock, cream cheese and half & half. Stir over low heat until cream cheese melts and sauce thickens. Add chopped shrimp, tarragon, and parsley to sauce.
5. Blend thoroughly and cook sauce over low heat until while you cook the tuna steaks.
To Serve: Place tuna on a plate and pour shrimp sauce over steaks.

This is one of the nicest ways I have prepared tuna in a while, I think it is because it is a little different. I love tuna and this recipe was no exception the curry mayonnaise goes so well with it and the marinade is wonderful. It is a quick and easy meal to throw together with a wonderful end result. I served ours over salad greens with avocado and mango some chopped up egg and alfalfa sprouts. It made for a very healthy delicious meal.
