1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves -- firmly
Packed
2/3 cup Mild olive oil
2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Sugar

Place the basil leaves, olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, sugar, salt
and 2 tablespoons hot water in a blender and puree. Arrange the tuna steaks
in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the
marinade over the fish. Cover and marinate for 3-4 hours in the
refrigerator - turning the steaks occasionally. Prepare coals for grilling
for preheat the broiler. Drain the tuna steaks and grill them over
medium-hot coals or broil 4-5 inches from he heat until charred on the
outside but still pink in the center - about 3 minutes - turning the steaks
once. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat and place the steaks on warmed
dinner plates. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over
medium-high heat. Add to the skillet the banana, pineapple, mango, papaya,
fresh cilantro leaves, lemon juice and sugar. Saute just until the
mixture is heated through - about 30 seconds. Do not overcook. Season to
taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon the sauteed fruit
mixture over the tuna and serve immediately. Recipe By : Fruit
