GRILLED TUNA



Grilled Tuna image

Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Be choosy: a reddish color is acceptable, but flesh with dark spots or streaks should be avoided. As with all great ocean fish, the flesh tends to be dry. Marinate with oil, and avoid overcooking. The timing is critical, as tuna should be served medium rare. Use a kitchen timer.

BALSAMIC GLAZED TUNA STEAKS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Balsamic Glazed Tuna Steaks Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by jads8627

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons grated onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons canola oil
4 (5-6 ounce) tuna steaks

Steps:

  • 1. Combine vinegar, brown sugar, onion, thyme and oil. Stir until sugar dissolves. Place tuna steaks in resealable plastic bag. Pour half of mixture over tuna. Seal bag and chill 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Refrigerate remaining vinegar-mixture. 2. Preheat grill. Remove tuna from marinade; discard marinade. Grill fish 5 minutes per half-inch thickness, turning once, or until fish flakes with a fork. Brush fish with reserved vinegar mixture just before removing from grill.

Tips:

  • To ensure that the tuna steaks remain moist and flavorful during grilling, brush them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper before cooking. Alternatively, marinate the steaks for 15-20 minutes in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices to infuse them with even more flavor.
  • To achieve the perfect sear on your tuna steaks, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For a rare tuna steak, aim for an internal temperature of 125°F, while for a medium-rare steak, aim for 135°F.
  • While the tuna steaks are grilling, prepare the balsamic glaze by simmering balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan until it has thickened and reduced to a syrupy consistency. This glaze will add a delicious sweet and tangy flavor to the grilled tuna.
  • Once the tuna steaks have been grilled to your liking, brush them generously with the balsamic glaze and serve immediately. The combination of the grilled tuna and the balsamic glaze creates a tantalizing flavor experience that is sure to impress your taste buds.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna with balsamic glaze is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for a summer barbecue or a special occasion meal. The tender and flaky tuna pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy glaze, creating a taste sensation that is both satisfying and memorable. Whether you serve it as a main course or as part of a larger spread, this dish is sure to be a hit with your guests.
