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: Marinating the tuna in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger will help to tenderize the fish and add flavor. You can marinate the tuna for up to 30 minutes, but no longer, or the fish will become too soft.
  • Grill the tuna over high heat: Grilling the tuna over high heat will help to sear the outside of the fish and keep the inside moist. Cook the tuna for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Serve the tuna with a variety of dipping sauces: Grilled tuna can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, wasabi, or ponzu sauce. You can also serve the tuna with a side of rice or vegetables.
