Mmmmmm, I love tuna steaks.

Thought I'd share my favorite tuna recipe:


Old Bay® Grilled Lime Tuna Steak
Enjoy fresh, grilled tuna steaks marinated with the
refreshing flavors of lime and Old Bay® seasoning.
Swordfish steaks also taste great with this marinade. Prep Time:
approx. 5 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 10 Minutes. Ready in:
approx. 35 Minutes. Makes 4 servings.

________________________________________
1/4 cup olive oil
4 teaspoons Old Bay® Seasoning
2 limes, juiced
2 teaspoons chopped Cilantro Leaves
1 pound tuna steaks

Directions
1 Combine first 4 ingredients in a shallow dish; add
fish. Turn to coat. Marinate 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
2 Grill or broil 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness or
until fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste with marinade
halfway through cooking. Discard leftover marinade.

The key to cooking tuna steaks is not over-cooking them. Leave them red inside. I usually get my Weber hot, then cook the steaks 2-3 minutes per side. Perfect. I've never had tuna steaks in a restaurant this good.

Enjoy
 
Must have been a good birthday. The bottle of Rumplemintz is almost gone. Back in the day that was our shot of choice - 100 proof peppermint schnapps.:biggrin: As a matter of fact, I did not have a groom's cake at my wedding, we had a Rumple fountain instead - most people had a good time at my wedding.:wink:

Tuna looks great, but then again, everything you cook looks great.
 
Awesome again!! (Got my Rick's fix for the weekend,always look forward to his post!)
 
If I ever had to give up beef steak, my second choice would be a good seared tuna steak. Looks awesome! I think I may be headed to the Whole Foods seafood counter later.

sounds good! i just used a little olive oil and pepper on these. tried to keep them red in the middle at 90 seconds a side, but i didn't have a timer. still red/pink in the middle. we served with a teriyaki dipping sauce

Wow, that's all it takes...90 seconds per? That sounds too easy. Well, I just figured out what's for dinner.

90 seconds a side at 700 degrees :biggrin:

that was sashimi grade tuna so you can basically eat it raw
 
Ahh, I see. Oh well, couple of modifications will still make it work. :)
 
I picked up some sashimi grade tuna steaks today and used Brauma's recipe.

I had a raging lump fire going in half of the kettle, I put two steaks on for 90 seconds aside, then moved them to indirect for a few minutes (my wife and youngest son won't eat it if it's still red inside) and put the other two on for just the 90 seconds per side directly over the fire. They were great!

Before the fire died down too much I put on some sliced peppers, onions, and zuchinni that was marinated in olive oil, fresh fground black pepper and Emeril's Bayou Blast and stir fried them on the grill.

Plated with some basmati rice - not too shabby of a dinner!

(I know, without pictures it never really happened).

Bauma - thanks for the recipe.

Rick - thanks for the inspiration!

90 seconds a side is almost over cooked! I still have a little YFT in the freezer from my last trip and about 5 filets of Wahoo left.
If I didn't have a fatty on the egg i would be breakin' out a little who!
Looks delicious!
 
OMG!
That looks wonderful! I love Tuna steaks.

Guido makes a mean blackened Tuna that I could eat everyday of the week.
Tasty lookin stuff you have there!
