Hardcore Albacore sits in the Seafood section of Regbie. The card serves 4 people. Plan on 30 minutes from the first measure to the plate. The amounts and the method are both written on this page.
Ingredients
Yield: 4 people
- 1 pound tuna albacore loin, skinless
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Red Boat fish sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Aleppo pepper, (skippable)
- 2 slices bacon, thin-cut
Method
Warm the broiler on high and arrange the oven rack six inches from the heating element.
Slice the tuna loin crosswise, into five mini steaks, about 1.5-inch thick. Set them in a large bowl.
In a measuring cup, whisk the orange juice, coconut aminos, vinegar, fish sauce, black pepper, and Aleppo pepper. Tip the marinade over the fish and marinate for 15 minutes.
Set the bacon on a microwave-safe plate lined with four sheets of paper towel and cover with two sheets. Microwave the bacon on high for 1-2 minutes so it is cooked halfway but still pliable.
Wrap each marinated tuna medallion in a slice of par-cooked bacon (with the ends tucked under the fish) and place them on a rack on top of a foil-lined baking tray.
Broil the bacon-wrapped tuna for about 4 minutes on one side and flip them over and cook them for an additional 2 minutes (or until bacon is crispy). Plate while it is hot.
