This recipe is different tough, you may not like tuna but you will be lured after preparing it. One thing for sure is that fish doesn’t have many fats compared to the meat or beef. Usually fish really does taste like meat once you get to love it. Don’t think negatively of tuna, it can really help you in your diet. Here is the recipe for the Grilled Tuna Steak.
Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 lb tuna steak
Cooking the Food:
1. In a bowl combine olive oil, old bay seasoning, lime juice and lemon juice. Mix the ingredients until all of them are combined together.
2. Once done, pour the mixture over the tuna and marinade it for 20 minutes. Don’t leave it unattended. You have to turn the tuna occasionally, so that the marinade is evenly distributed in and out of the fish.
3. Once done, prepare your grill. If you are using an electric grill then turn it on to high and cover the grill. If you are using a common grill, put some coal and burn. Have the coal turn red hot and no black spots should be found because you need the hottest part of the grill. Make sure that the grill is hot and put the tuna in the hottest part of the grill. Sear the tuna every 1 to 2 minutes per side to seal in the juices and strongly gives the flavour.
4. When done, transfer the tuna slightly away from the hottest area. If you are using an electric grill turn to medium or low to lessen the heat. Turn the tuna every 8 to 10 minutes, it depends how thick your tuna is, so if it is thick have a least 2-3 minutes gap.
5. When done put the tuna on a clean plate, and if you like, you can add the old bay seasoning on your tuna. You can also try squeezing fresh lemon on the tuna to bring the flavourful taste of the fish. Prepare some fruit juice or fresh cold water with your fish and have a perfect lunch or dinner.
