ingredients

4 albacore tuna steaks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons basil, fresh
¹⁄₂ cup sweet bell pepper, cubed
¹⁄₄ cup tomatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt and pepper

directions

To make marinade mix together olive oil, garlic, basil, sweet peppers (red and green), and tomato, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Marinate (dredge steaks and get marinade on both sides) tuna steaks for up to 6 hours in the refrigerator.
Grill for 4 minutes or less per side, depending on how you like them. Steaks should be firm with pink in the middle. If you prefer steaks to be more rare, grilling time should be 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
Note: Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of the grill. Check the doneness of the fish by making an incision with a knife and checking the color in the middle.

Hello, Everyone! My husband and I met in college, at Viginia Tech. GO HOKIES!! My major was Nutrition. The science of food is amazing to me. I love to cook and love to eat even more! Currently, I do not work outside our home. We have a baby boy, who is 2 now. I love to see how he decides to eat his food and what he thinks after tasting it. For fun, I enjoy making new recipies and trying to come up with my own, which I call train wrecks. My favorite recipes are ones that do not have a long list of ingrdients and the ingredients it calls for are ones that I generally keep in the pantry. It makes me feel good when my husband tells me the meal I have prepared is a keeper and one to make again. I love him even more when he tells someone else about something that I make. The most feel good thing for me is when my mom asks for the recipe. My mother is the greatest domestic "Chef de Cuisine", or Head of the Kitchen, in my opinion. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
