JAPANESE GRILLED TUNA



Japanese Grilled Tuna image

This Japanese-inspired tuna should be grilled very rare for the best flavour. The glaze keeps for two weeks refrigerated, but if it becomes too thick, thin down with a little water before using. Serve with rice and a cucumber salad. To crack peppercorns, place in a plastic bag and bash with rolling pin or back of a pot. Prep time includes marinating time. From Food and Drink.

MARINATED GRILLED TUNA STEAK

The secret to a perfect tuna steak is to cook it as you would a rare or medium-rare steak, overcooking will produce a tough dry fish, the center needs to be pink -- plan ahead the steaks need to marinade for 8-24 hours, prep time includes refrigeration time --- I have made this in the past many times it is *very* good!

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH ASIAN SESAME CRUST



Grilled Tuna Steaks With Asian Sesame Crust image

Easy enough for a weeknight but special enough for company, Asian-flavored marinated grilled tuna steaks with a sesame crust cook up quickly.

Provided by Jessica Harlan

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 36m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped scallions (white and light green parts)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
4 (6-ounce) tuna steaks
1/2 cup sesame seeds (white and black combined or white only)
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large zip-top bag, combine the soy sauce, chopped scallions, lemon juice, sesame oil, and fresh ginger. Swish everything around in the bag until it's well combined.
  • Add the tuna steaks, turning to coat them completely with the marinade. Press the excess air out of the bag, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat; this can be a countertop contact grill, an open grill pan, or an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. If using a contact grill, set to "sear" or the highest temperature setting.
  • Place the sesame seeds on a plate or a shallow dish. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, brushing the scallions off the steaks; reserve the marinade. One at a time, coat the steaks in sesame seeds on all sides, pressing the seeds onto the steaks so they'll stick.
  • Spray the grill plates lightly with nonstick spray and place the steaks on the grill. If using a contact grill, close the cover so the top grill rests evenly on the steaks; do not press down. Grill for about 3 minutes for a rare, pink interior; grill longer if you prefer your tuna cooked through.
  • If you are using an open grilling surface, carefully flip the tuna steaks with a pair of tongs after 3 minutes and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the steaks from the grill and keep warm.
  • While the tuna cooks, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry and add to the saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  • To serve, slice the tuna steaks on the diagonal into thin pieces. Fan the slices on a plate and drizzle with the sauce.

  • For the best results, use fresh tuna steaks that are at least 1 inch thick. Choose steaks that are evenly cut and have a deep red color.
