GRILLED TUNA WITH HERBS AND OLIVES
Here, grilled tuna is smothered with a mixture of flavorful herbs, made more potent by the addition of chopped olives and a little raw garlic. A mix of parsley, basil, chives, chervil and marjoram, for example, would be splendid, as would one of cilantro, mint and basil. (I would rule out only thyme, tarragon and rosemary, unless you use them in minuscule quantities.) If you don't have a grill, many readers have baked it at 425 and been happy with the results.

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:
- Choose the right tuna steak. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a firm, meaty texture. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of dark red bloodline running through them.
- Season the tuna steaks simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the tuna. You can also add a little dried oregano or thyme, if you like.
- Sear the tuna steaks over high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while leaving the inside rare or medium-rare.
- Let the tuna steaks rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
- Serve the tuna steaks with your favorite sides. Grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Grilled tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed all summer long. By following these tips, you can make sure your grilled tuna steaks are cooked to perfection every time. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
