Ingredients

  • 4 6-ounce tuna steaks
  • Salt and white pepper
  • 1 small melon, small dice (about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup (about 2-3 ounces) prosciutto, small dice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
  • 1 tablespoon chopped mint
  • 4 teaspoons champagne vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  • Preheat the grill to high.

    Season the tuna steaks. In a small bowl combine the melon, prosciutto, shallots, mint, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil  and season with salt and pepper. Allow to sit and let the flavor develop for 15 to 20 minutes.

    Place the tuna steaks on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Serve immediately.
