From inside the carton of a tube of Amore Garlic Paste. Saving here for safe keeping as I couldn't find the same recipe already posted. I am guessing on times as I haven't had a chance to make this yet since we still have several feet of snow on!!! (Doesn't include marinating time.) **Made this last night on the griddle pan on the stovetop. Loved it and can't wait to try this on the charcoal grill... Light, filling and flavorful!

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons lime juice, fresh squeezed
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger, minced fresh
3 teaspoons garlic paste
4 tuna steaks, 1 in thick
2 mangoes, ripe, peeled and diced
1 orange, peeled and diced
1 small red onion, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic paste
3 teaspoons lime juice, fresh

Steps:

  • Whisk together the olive oil, 4 T lime juice, soy sauce, ginger and 3 t garlic paste. Place tuna steaks in a single layer in a nonreactive dish and cover with the marinatde. Turn to coat both sides. Place in the refrigerator 3-5 hours, turning occasionally.

  • Remove tuna steaks from the marinade. Cook on a hot grill for about 3-5 minutes per side so that the steaks remain pink in the center. Spoon the chilled salsa over each steak and garnish with a cilantro sprig if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh tuna steaks: Look for tuna steaks that are firm and have a vibrant red color. Avoid steaks that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Blacken the tuna steaks properly: To achieve the perfect blackened crust, heat your skillet over high heat until it's smoking. Then, add the seasoned tuna steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
  • Make sure the mango salsa is fresh and flavorful: Use ripe mangoes and fresh cilantro for the best flavor. You can also add other fruits or vegetables to the salsa, such as pineapple, red onion, or jalapeño.
  • Serve the blackened tuna steaks immediately: Tuna steaks are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh off the grill. Serve them with the mango salsa, grilled vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
