Seared Tuna with Warm Mango Salsa

One day I had a mango in the house and didn't know what to do with it, and I found this recipe from Ina, Barefoot Contessa.  I made it for dinner and we have been hooked ever since!  Enjoy!!

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for the tuna

½ large red onion, or 1 small diced

2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 mangos, peeled and cubed
1/3 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Salt and pepper
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons fresh mint leaves, minced

2 tuna steaks – or 1 large cut in half to serve

 Heat olive oil in large sauté pan.  Add onions and garlic and sauté over medium flame for about 10 minutes.  Add garlic.  After about 1 minute add the mangos and cook for about 10 minutes.  Add the OJ, brown sugar, salt, pepper and jalapeno pepper, cook for another 10 minutes until oj is reduced, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat and add mint.  Can be served warm, chilled or best at room temperature.

Rub a dribble of olive oil on both sides of tuna.  Prepare a hot grill.  Grill tuna about 5 minutes on each side (for 1 ¼  inch to 1 ½ inch thick piece),  until brown on outside and inside rare.

Serve the tuna on top of the mango salsa.  Enjoy!!!
