What's your grilling method for Tuna Steaks?

[jmed999]

Do you marinate? What grill temp do you use? What internal temp do you cook them to?

Any recipes or ideas would be very helpful! :biggrin1:


Thanks in advance!!!:clap2:

Super hot fire coated in nut seeds of choice. Sear over screaming hot coal 1 min per side or less. Serve very rare.

Back when I could afford tuna steaks, we would use olive oil, then Chicago Steak seasoning, put in a very hot CI skillet, bout 2 min per side, tasty

I marinade them with some soy, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger root and wasabi. S&P with some Sesame seeds and nori flake and sear the, 1-2 minutes per side over high heat. You want a nice sear with a rare center.

On larger pieces.

a little olive oil rollthe outer enges in a mix of montreal seasioning and Japeleno powder.

Hot grill and sear so about 1/4" looks cooked and very rare (raw) in the middle

Slice thinly and serve

Should have said I'm not using sushi grade. The steaks I buy are in a 2 pack frozen from Publix.

My method only works with fresh fish. You can freeze it afterwards but can't start out with frozen.

Derhuskers method looks good

I coat in Creole season and EVOO, then sear outside like others said -
RARE - chopped capers and mayo mixed for a sauce.
Look at derHusker's link and that's about perfectly cooked.
