If you look further down the page, they are not all shakes ... there are many recepies for non-shake tuna ideas.

Example ...

GRILLED TUNA OVER BLACK BEANS -
LACED WITH CHILE AND CUMIN WITH SPICY TOMATO CHUTNEY

Ingredients

For the black beans:
1 pound of black beans
1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons chile powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons kosher salt

For the tomato chutney:
4 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped (about 3 cups)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
salt to taste

For the tuna:
4 tuna steaks, 6 to 8 ounces each
fresh marjoram chopped
salt and pepper
olive oil (about 1/4 cup)

Preparation

Make the black beans: In a large heavy sauce pot add the beans and enough water to cover the surface of the beans. Add the chopped onion, the chile powder, the cumin and the salt and mix well. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beans are soft, adding more water if necessary. Cool, drain any excess water and reserve.

Make the tomato chutney: To a sauce pot add the tomatoes, the cayenne powder, the champagne vinegar and the ground cumin. Bring to a boil over medium heat and simmer until the tomatoes soften (about 5 minutes). Add salt to taste and reserve.

Make the tuna: Season the tuna with salt, pepper and marjoram. Heat a grill to very hot stage (or cast iron skillet to almost white hot). Brush the tuna with olive oil and sear the tuna on each side (about 1 minute per side). Remove and assemble the dish immediately.

Assembly: In the center of each of 4 plates place 1/4 of the bean mixture. Place a tuna steak on each mound and place three dollops of the tomato chutney around each of the steaks. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
