GRILLED TUNA STEAKS



Grilled Tuna Steaks image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

Four 1-inch-thick fresh tuna steaks (about 4 pounds)
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To grill the tuna, get a charcoal or stove-top cast-iron grill very hot. Brush the fish with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill each side for only 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. The center should be raw, like sushi, or the tuna will be tough and dry. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality tuna steaks for the best results.
  • Make sure the tuna steaks are at least 1 inch thick so they don't overcook quickly.
  • Season the tuna steaks generously with salt and pepper before grilling.
  • Sear the tuna steaks over high heat to create a nice crust, then reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the tuna is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the tuna steaks are cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the tuna should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve the tuna steaks with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared quickly and easily. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled tuna steaks are cooked to perfection and full of flavor.
