Lemon Caper Grilled Tuna
Serves 4
2 tbsp olive oil
2 lemons, zested and juiced, plus 1 lemon, wedged for serving
2 garlic clove or 1 small shallot, grated or finely minced
1 small hot chile, sliced thin (such as Fresno)
1 tbsp capers, rinsed and chopped
1 tbsp + 1 tsp fresh chopped oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6oz) tuna steaks
Coarse sea salt, for finishing
1. Place tuna in a shallow baking dish wide enough to hold the steaks in a single layer. Whisk together the olive oil, zest and juice of 2 lemons, garlic or shallot, chile, capers, 1 tbsp oregano, and a generous couple pinches of salt and pepper in a small bowl; set ⅓ of mixture aside for finishing. Pour remaining ⅔ of sauce over the tuna and coat steaks well. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, flipping once or twice.
2. Place a grill pan over medium high heat and lightly oil. Remove tuna from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Light coat with olive oil. When oil is smoking, add tuna so that each piece is touching the pan (do not overcrowd, cook in batches if needed). Grill tuna until charred on both sides and pink in the center, about 3 minutes each side for medium rare.
3. Transfer tuna to a platter. Dress with remaining ⅓ sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp of oregano and a pinch of coarse sea salt and a crack of freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

2 - 3 oz feta, cut or crumbled into large pieces
¼ cup olive oil
½ cup chopped fresh herbs, some combo of parsley, basil, chives, tarragon, mint, oregano
2 cups baby arugula
