Melon Salsa with Grilled Tuna

Ingredients

2 6-ounce tuna steaks
Salt and white pepper
1 small melon, small dice (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup (about 2-3 ounces) prosciutto, small dice
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1 teaspoon chopped mint
1 teaspoon champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
Chopped green bell pepper, for garnish
Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the grill to high. Season the tuna steaks. In a small bowl combine the melon, prosciutto, shallots, mint, vinegar, and olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Allow to sit and let the flavor develop for 15-20 minutes. Place the tuna steaks on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Place the tuna steaks on a big service plate and top with the salsa, making sure the juices from the salsa drizzle all over the tuna. Garnish with chopped peppers and parsley.
