The next time you're planning a BBQ, consider making these chilli and caper marinated tuna steaks. Capers and fish are a match made in food heaven, and when you factor in the meaty flavour of juicy tuna steaks straight from the grill, you're in Nirvana.

  1. Mix the chilli, garlic, capers, parsley, lemon juice and oil in a small bowl. Put the tuna in a shallow dish and toss well with the marinade. Season and then chill for 1 hour.
  2. Heat the barbecue and grill the fish on direct heat for 2-3 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve with green beans and crispy potatoes, if you like.
