BACON-WRAPPED TUNA STEAKS
This recipe came from my husband's cousin, who fishes for tuna off the Oregon coast each summer. The bacon helps hold the tuna together on the grill, and adds a nice moistness to the lean albacore meat. You could try it with other types of tuna, but I've only ever used albacore.

Steps:
- Take as many bacon strips as you have tuna steaks, and lay bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Microwave 2-3 minutes or until bacon is about half-cooked but still very pliable.
- Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high.
- Meanwhile, wrap a slice of cooled bacon around the perimeter of each tuna steak and secure to itself and to the fish with a toothpick or two. Depending on the size of your steaks, you might have to squeeze a bit to get the bacon to reach around, but a snug fit will hold the fish together when it shrinks during cooking.
- Sprinkle both surfaces of tuna steaks with garlic powder & seasoned salt. Spray both sides lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking to grill. (You can also use a fish grilling grid or basket).
- Grill until fish is lightly browned and bacon is starting to crisp, about 5-7 minutes per side for well-done (I don't like any pink in my fish).
- Note: I use the low-sodium Kirkland brand bacon that Costco sells, and Mazola Pure olive oil spray.

Steps:
- Wrap each tuna steak with a strip of bacon and secure with wooden skewers or toothpicks. Make the marinade: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Marinate tuna steaks for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange tuna steaks on a baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until completely cooked. Make the wasabi cream sauce: Combine wasabi and reserved marinade in a saucepan over low heat. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve on the side or drizzle on top before serving.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality tuna steaks. Look for steaks that are firm to the touch and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are mushy or have brown spots.
- Season the tuna steaks simply with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, if desired.
- Wrap the tuna steaks in bacon tightly and evenly. This will help to keep the tuna moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Cook the tuna steaks over medium-high heat until the bacon is crispy and the tuna is cooked to your desired doneness. Tuna steaks are typically cooked to medium-rare or medium, but you can cook them to your preferred doneness.
- Let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steaks, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped tuna steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The tuna steaks are cooked to perfection and the bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
