Categories     Fish     Marinate     Healthy     Low Carb

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 limes (juice of)
1/2 cup soy sauce (high-quality)
1 garlic clove (medium-sized, minced)
1 teaspoon mustard (strong)
2 teaspoons ginger (fresh, peeled and finely minced or substitute 1 tea ground)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (coarsely ground)
1/4 cup white wine (dry or substitute water)
1 1/2 pounds tuna steak (no less than 1 1/4 inches thick)
1 cup arugula (small bunch, leaves)

Steps:

  • Mix together all the ingredients except the tuna and arugula.
  • Marinate the tuna in it for no more than 1 hour (less is fine). Refrigerate if the weather is warm.
  • Wash and pick over the arugula; remove woody stems.
  • Start a charcoal or wood fire (the fire should be quite hot) or preheat a gas grill or broiler.
  • Remove the tuna from the marinade and dry it gently with paper towels.
  • Toss the arugula with the marinade.
  • Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife (i.e., a boning knife) make a small incision halfway down any edge of the tuna steak.
  • Insert the knife almost to the opposite edge of the steak, then move it back and forth, flipping it over and creating a large pocket. Be careful not to cut through the top, bottom, or opposite edge of the tuna, and try to keep the entry point small.
  • Stuff the pocket with the arugula, still drenched in marinade.
  • If you've kept the pocket opening small, seal it with a toothpick; if it's more than 1 to 2 inches wide, use a couple of skewers.
  • Grill the tuna, turning once, about 6 minutes per inch of thickness (if your steak is 1 1/2 inches thick, for example, turn it after about 4 minutes and cook 4 to 5 minutes more).
  • Serve, cut into quarters or 1/2-inch-thick slices.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tuna was dry and overcooked.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pine nuts from the recipe. It was still delicious.

I found that the tuna cooked more evenly if I grilled it over indirect heat.

I grilled the tuna for a few minutes longer than the recipe called for, and it was perfect.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover arugula.

I'm not a fan of arugula, so I substituted spinach instead. It turned out great!
