Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup teriyaki sauce
¾ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (4 ounce) fillets yellowfin tuna

Steps:

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the teriyaki sauce, oil, garlic, and pepper. Place the tuna fillets in the bag. Seal the bag with as little air in it as possible. Give the mix a good shake, to ensure the tuna fillets are well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
Remove tuna from marinade, and place on grill. For rare tuna, grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. For medium, grill 5 to 8 minutes per side. For well done, grill for 8 to 10 minutes per side.

MARINATED GRILLED TUNA STEAK

Marinated Grilled Tuna Steak image

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!

Tips:

Choose the right tuna steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a grayish color.
Marinate the tuna steaks: Marinating the tuna steaks in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil.
Grill the tuna steaks over high heat: Grilling the tuna steaks over high heat will help to sear the outside of the steaks and keep the inside moist and flavorful. Cook the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the tuna steaks rest before serving: After grilling, let the tuna steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steaks, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Grilled yellowfin tuna is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following these tips, you can grill perfect tuna steaks that are tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
