The secret to a perfect tuna steak is to cook it as you would a rare or medium-rare steak, overcooking will produce a tough dry fish, the center needs to be pink - plan ahead the steaks need to marinade for 8-24 hours, prep time includes refrigeration time - I have made this in the past many times it is *very* good! Ingredients:
3 (4 ounce) fresh tuna steaks |
ground black pepper (to taste) or lemon pepper (to taste) |
1/4 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce |
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon lime juice |
3 tablespoons oil |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
3 fresh garlic cloves, minced (can use less if desired) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl combine all marinade ingredients until well blended.
2. Place the tuna steaks into a shallow glass dish (I use an 11 x 7-inch baking pan for this).
3. Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks and turn to coat.
4. Cover with plastic wrap.
5. Refrigerate 8-24 hours (turning a couple of times during chilling).
6. Preheat the grill to HIGH heat.
7. Oil the grill grate.
8. Remove the steaks from marinade (discard any marinade) and place on a plate.
9. Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
10. Grill the steaks for 5 minutes per side or until rare or medium-rare (DO NOT overcook the tuna or it will be dry!).
11. Delicious!
