GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH ASIAN SESAME CRUST

Easy enough for a weeknight but special enough for company, Asian-flavored marinated grilled tuna steaks with a sesame crust cook up quickly.

Provided by Jessica Harlan

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 36m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped scallions (white and light green parts)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks
1/2 cup sesame seeds (white and black combined or white only)
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large zip-top bag, combine the soy sauce, chopped scallions, lemon juice, sesame oil, and fresh ginger. Swish everything around in the bag until it's well combined.
  • Add the tuna steaks, turning to coat them completely with the marinade. Press the excess air out of the bag, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat; this can be a countertop contact grill, an open grill pan, or an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. If using a contact grill, set to "sear" or the highest temperature setting.
  • Place the sesame seeds on a plate or a shallow dish. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, brushing the scallions off the steaks; reserve the marinade. One at a time, coat the steaks in sesame seeds on all sides, pressing the seeds onto the steaks so they'll stick.
  • Spray the grill plates lightly with nonstick spray and place the steaks on the grill. If using a contact grill, close the cover so the top grill rests evenly on the steaks; do not press down. Grill for about 3 minutes for a rare, pink interior; grill longer if you prefer your tuna cooked through.
  • If you are using an open grilling surface, carefully flip the tuna steaks with a pair of tongs after 3 minutes and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the steaks from the grill and keep warm.
  • While the tuna cooks, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry and add to the saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  • To serve, slice the tuna steaks on the diagonal into thin pieces. Fan the slices on a plate and drizzle with the sauce.

Time 36m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 -6 ounces tuna steaks (1/2 inch thick)
2 cups teriyaki sauce
1 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Coat steaks after marinade in sesame seeds.
  • Preheat grill on high while steaks are marinading.
  • Place steaks on preheated grill.
  • Grill for 3 minutes on each side.
  • Use tongs or spatula to turn steaks.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tuna Steaks: Select thick, firm tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that they stay moist and juicy during grilling.
  • Marinate the Tuna: Marinating the tuna in the sesame-orange marinade for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse it with flavor and moisture. If you don't have time to marinate the tuna, you can simply brush it with the marinade before grilling.
  • Grill the Tuna Over High Heat: Grilling the tuna over high heat helps to create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender. Be sure to preheat your grill to high before adding the tuna steaks.
  • Use a Non-Stick Grill Pan: If you don't have a grill, you can cook the tuna steaks in a non-stick grill pan over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the tuna from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't Overcook the Tuna: Tuna steaks are best when cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking the tuna will make it dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Grilled sesame-orange tuna steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. The combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors in the marinade makes this dish irresistible. Serve the tuna steaks with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
