If you’re not feeling up for tackling yesterday’s osso buco recipe, here is a much simpler and equally delicious recipe: grilled tuna with herbed aioli. For medium-rare tuna, you only need to grill it two minutes a side. The herb- and garlic-rich aioli is a refreshing complement to the tender tuna.

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup mayonnaise
