Tips:

  • To ensure the tuna steaks are cooked evenly, it's crucial to use a meat thermometer to monitor their internal temperature. Aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • For a more flavorful marinade, try using a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, fresh herbs like thyme or basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the tuna steaks to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to infuse them with flavor.
  • To add a smoky flavor to the tuna steaks, consider grilling them over charcoal or wood chips. This will give the fish a delicious charred taste and aroma.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can still enjoy grilled tuna steaks by using a grill pan or a cast-iron skillet. Heat the pan over medium-high heat, brush the tuna steaks with oil, and sear them for a few minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
  • The dill sauce is a perfect complement to the grilled tuna steaks. To make the sauce, simply combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Adjust the ingredients to taste, and serve the sauce alongside the grilled tuna steaks.
