Tender grilled tuna steaks topped with lemon-pepper butter. From the Deen Brother's Y'all Come Eat cookbook. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
extra virgin olive oil, for brushing |
2 (8 ounce) tuna steaks, about 1 inch thick |
salt |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mash together the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, the 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the garlic powder. Set aside (or chill if not using immediately).
2. Prepare the grill for medium-high direct heat and lightly oil the grate (or preheat a broiler). Brush oil on both sides of tuna steaks. Season the tuno on both sides with salt and additional pepper. Grill or broil for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare, turning once.
3. Transfer tuna steaks to a serving platter; top with the butter mixture.
