Tuna Steak on Fettuccine

  Dinner

For something new to do with tuna, I suggest this tangy dish. Although I prefer the marinade on tuna or mahi mahi, it's scrumptious on any fish, grilled, baked or broiled.

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth, divided
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1. In a shallow bowl, combine 2 tablespoons wine, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon basil, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and half the salt and pepper; add tuna. Turn to coat; cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
