SPRING HILL RANCH KOREAN-STYLE GRILLED TUNA STEAKS

Spring Hill Ranch Korean-Style Grilled Tuna Steaks image

We have a real difficult time here on the ranch with "tuna" from a can or the ubiquitous tuna casserole our mother used to make. We have found, however, that there is something very special to a lovely tuna steak, grilled to perfection over a hot grill. And when I say "to perfection," I mean cooked on the outside with lots of...

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 c soy sauce (low-sodium is fine)
2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp granulated white sugar
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
3 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp kosher salt (only if low sodium soy sauce is used)
1/2 tsp freshly coarse-ground black pepper
4 1" thick tuna steaks, 1/4-1/2 pound each

Steps:

1. In a small mixing bowl or 2-cup measure, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper.
2. Place the tuna steaks in a zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade, being sure each steak is coated. Seal the bag, refrigerate, and let the tuna marinate for 1 to not more than 1 1/2 hours, turning it occasionally. DO NOT OVER-MARINATE.
3. Preheat your grill for high heat. Use a wire brush to make sure your grill is clean of any residue. Use tongs and paper towel to apply a liberal coating of vegetable or canola oil to the grill. You can either discard the marinade or place it in a small pan and boil it down a little to use as for a basting sauce.
4. Grill the tuna for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side. The "cooked" portion should extend only about 1/4" into the steak on each side, with pink and some red in the center. And trust me, the more red, the better. Please, oh please, do not over-cook this wonderful piece of tuna!

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality tuna steaks. Look for steaks that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are brown or have any signs of spoilage.
Marinate the tuna steaks for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the steaks and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as soy sauce, mirin, sake, and ginger.
Grill the tuna steaks over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the steaks and keep them moist on the inside. Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve the grilled tuna steaks with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include rice, noodles, vegetables, and kimchi.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna Korean-style is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The marinade tenderizes the tuna and infuses it with flavor, while the grilling process creates a slightly crispy exterior and a moist, flaky interior. Serve the grilled tuna with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
