- 1 Tbsp. Sherry or possibly red wine vinegar

- 1 x Lime, Juice of
- 4 x Tuna steaks, (about 1 1/2 pounds) cut 3/4-inch thick

Directions
- First make the salsa. Preheat the broiler. While it is heating, prepare the corn. Holding each ear upright, cut off the kernels with a sharp knife.
- Heat a large heavy-based skillet or possibly frying pan without any fat over high heat till almost smoking. Add in the kernels and dry-roast till tender, smoky and dark, tossing continuously as they tend to stick, 4 to 5 min.
- Cook the peppers under the broiler, turning them till the skin chars and bursts, 7 to 10 min. Put them in a plastic bag and leave to sweat and cold so the skins loosen. Peel the peppers, discarding cores and seeds.
- Dice the flesh.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. of the extra virgin olive oil in a large frying pan. Add in the onion and saute/fry till soft but not brown, 3 to 4 min. Take the pan from the heat and stir in the roasted corn, minced tomatoes, sun-dry tomatoes, diced peppers, vinegar and remaining oil. Heat, stirring, till warm. Take from the heat and keep hot.
- Rinse fish steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Brush with half the oil, season with salt and pepper and set on oiled grill pan or possibly grill. Broil 3 to 4 min. Turn steaks over, brush with the remaining oil and grill till done to taste, 2 to 3 min longer.
- Meanwhile, stir the cilantro and lime juice into the salsa, taste and adjust seasoning. Make a bed of salsa on 4 warmed plates and place a tuna steak on top of each. Serve at once.
