Grilled Tuna with Chilli-Lime Sauce Prep and cook time: Up to 30 mins Serves: 4

Ingredients
2 red chillies, deseeded and chopped
4 kaffir lime leaves
1½ x 15ml spoons light brown sugar
2 x 15ml spoons lime juice
2 x 15ml spoons Thai fish sauce
3 x 15ml spoons water
2 x 15ml spoons fresh coriander, finely chopped
4 tuna steaks approximately 175g each, 2cm thick
2 x 5ml spoons olive oil
1 Chinese leaf lettuce, coarsely shredded
15ml spoon vegetable oil
freshly ground black pepper

Method
Mix the chillies, lime leaves, sugar, lime juice, fish sauce and water in a saucepan. Simmer, then remove from the heat.

Allow to cool, then add the coriander.

Preheat the grill to a high setting.

Brush the tuna steaks with the olive oil and season with black pepper.

Grill the tuna until charred on the outside and still pink on the inside, about 4 minutes each side.

In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over a high heat. Add the Chinese leaf and cook, stirring until just wilted.

To serve, put the Chinese leaf on each plate, top with the tuna steak and pour over the dressing.
