Tuna steaks are a treat on the grill. The flavor varies with the different species of tuna. Yellowfin tuna, also known as ahi, is delicately flavored and works well for this recipe. I use a stove-top grill to make this dinner quickly.
Arugula is mostly used in cold salads. My Italian friend Anna likes to serve her arugula cooked, using it as the base for a pasta dish.
