Steps:
- Combine the lime juice, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, cumin and hot pepper sauce in a glass or ceramic dish large enough to hold the fish snugly in a single layer.
- Cut the fish into six uniform pieces. Place them in the dish, turn them once to coat both sides, cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. Turn the fish once while it is marinating.
- Heat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the tuna until it is seared on the outside but still rare in the middle, two to three minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish and the heat of the grill or broiler.
- Serve at once topped with the pepper salsa.
Tips:
- Choose the right tuna steaks. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a firm texture. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of dark spots.
- Marinate the tuna steaks. Marinating the steaks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to flavor and tenderize them.
- Grill the tuna steaks over medium heat. This will help to prevent the steaks from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Cook the tuna steaks to your desired doneness. The USDA recommends cooking tuna steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Let the tuna steaks rest before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the steaks and prevent them from becoming dry.
