GRILLED TUNA



Grilled Tuna image

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:

  • Choose the right tuna steak: Look for steaks that are at least 1-inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a grayish color.
  • Marinate the tuna: Marinating the tuna in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Grill the tuna over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the tuna while keeping the inside rare or medium-rare.
  • Let the tuna rest before serving: Letting the tuna rest for a few minutes before serving will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
  • Serve the tuna with a flavorful sauce: Aioli, salsa verde, or chimichurri are all great options for adding extra flavor to grilled tuna.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled tuna is cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
