Dinner Roles
These Celeb Chefs Make More Than Reservations
April 21, 1997 * Vol. 47 * No. 15
REED DIAMOND
natural-born griller
When Reed Diamond moved into his rented Baltimore house last fall, one of his first purchases was a top-of-the-line Weber gas grill. "It was one of the most male experiences I ever had," he says. But the actor, who plays Det. Mike Kellerman on NBC's Homicide, didn't do it for the testosterone rush. "I love grilled meat," he says. "I grilled nonstop until it was so bitterly cold I was forced indoors."
A native of New York City, Diamond, 29, attributes his kitchen talents to his astrologer mom, Allison, and dad, Bob, a stage manager with the Metropolitan Opera, both of whom are avid cooks. "There were great pastas, and we were into Mexican very early," he says. Now Bob admires his son's efforts: "His cooking is creative and experimental. He likes good food and good flavor." Not that it's always appreciated. When he entered a chili-cooking contest on the set last season, Diamond, who is separated from wife Frederika Kesten, felt sure his hearty recipe would take home the prize. Instead, "some bland thing won," he complains. "I learned you have to know your audience. My poor chili—it was like casting pearls before swine."
Teriyaki Tuna
serves 4
½ cup dark soy sauce
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup of mirin (Japanese rice wine)
1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
4 tuna steaks (about 6 ounces each)
In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, olive oil, mirin and garlic. Add the tuna steaks and marinate in the refrigerator, turning once or twice, for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Heat a stove-top grill. Drain the tuna and pat dry with paper towels. Cook the tuna until rare, about 2 minutes per side. Cook the tuna longer on each side if you'd like it medium or well-done.
