GRILLED TUNA
Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Be choosy: a reddish color is acceptable, but flesh with dark spots or streaks should be avoided. As with all great ocean fish, the flesh tends to be dry. Marinate with oil, and avoid overcooking. The timing is critical, as tuna should be served medium rare. Use a kitchen timer.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality tuna: For the best flavor, use sushi-grade tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick.
- Season the tuna simply: Just a little bit of salt, pepper, and olive oil will bring out the natural flavor of the tuna.
- Grill the tuna over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the tuna while leaving the inside rare and juicy.
- Don't overcook the tuna: Tuna is a very delicate fish, so it's important to cook it quickly and carefully. Overcooked tuna will be dry and tough.
- Let the tuna rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
Conclusion:
Grilled tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals. By following these tips, you can grill tuna perfectly every time.
