GRILLED TUNA STEAKS



Grilled Tuna Steaks image

Look for moist, translucent tuna that's shiny pink or red; avoid fish with any hint of browning.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 one-inch-thick tuna steaks, (about 4 ounces each)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
6 anchovy fillets, cut into thirds
1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Preheat a ridged stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Brush grill pan or grill with oil. Grill tuna until well browned but still rare, about 2 minutes per side; the flesh will be firm and tight. For medium rare, cook 1 minute more, until the flesh begins to pull apart. For medium, cook 2 minutes more, until the flesh flakes apart.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine lemon zest and juice, anchovies, oil, and garlic. Bring to boil over medium heat, remove from heat, and stir in oregano and basil. Serve immediately with sauce spooned over tuna.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tuna Steaks: Opt for tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick for a juicy and flavorful result.
  • Proper Seasoning: Generously season the tuna steaks with a flavorful blend of spices, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. This enhances the taste and adds complexity to the dish.
  • High Heat is Key: When grilling the tuna steaks, use high heat to create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender. This technique locks in the natural flavors and prevents overcooking.
  • Flip Only Once: Avoid flipping the tuna steaks multiple times during grilling. Flip them only once, after they have developed a nice crust on one side. This helps prevent the fish from breaking apart and ensures even cooking.
  • Monitor the Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the tuna steaks. The ideal internal temperature for medium-rare tuna is 125°F (52°C). This ensures a tender and juicy texture while maintaining a slightly pink center.
  • Let the Tuna Rest: After grilling, allow the tuna steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and succulent dish.

Conclusion:

Grilled blackened tuna steaks are a delightful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following these tips and incorporating the provided recipes, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you prefer a simple blackened seasoning or a more complex marinade, there is a recipe here to suit your taste preferences.
