SPRING HILL RANCH KOREAN-STYLE GRILLED TUNA STEAKS

Spring Hill Ranch Korean-Style Grilled Tuna Steaks image

We have a real difficult time here on the ranch with "tuna" from a can or the ubiquitous tuna casserole our mother used to make. We have found, however, that there is something very special to a lovely tuna steak, grilled to perfection over a hot grill. And when I say "to perfection," I mean cooked on the outside with lots of...

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 c soy sauce (low-sodium is fine)
2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp granulated white sugar
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
3 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp kosher salt (only if low sodium soy sauce is used)
1/2 tsp freshly coarse-ground black pepper
4 1" thick tuna steaks, 1/4-1/2 pound each

Steps:

1. In a small mixing bowl or 2-cup measure, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper.
2. Place the tuna steaks in a zip-lock bag and pour in the marinade, being sure each steak is coated. Seal the bag, refrigerate, and let the tuna marinate for 1 to not more than 1 1/2 hours, turning it occasionally. DO NOT OVER-MARINATE.
3. Preheat your grill for high heat. Use a wire brush to make sure your grill is clean of any residue. Use tongs and paper towel to apply a liberal coating of vegetable or canola oil to the grill. You can either discard the marinade or place it in a small pan and boil it down a little to use as for a basting sauce.
4. Grill the tuna for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side. The "cooked" portion should extend only about 1/4" into the steak on each side, with pink and some red in the center. And trust me, the more red, the better. Please, oh please, do not over-cook this wonderful piece of tuna!

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 brownish color.
Marinate the tuna steaks overnight: This will help to tenderize the steaks and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple soy sauce, garlic, and ginger marinade works well.
Grill the tuna steaks over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside moist and tender. Cook the steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve the tuna steaks with a variety of sides: Some popular sides include rice, vegetables, and salad. You can also serve the tuna steaks with a dipping sauce, such as a soy sauce-based sauce or a spicy mayonnaise sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled tuna Korean-style is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. By following these tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give grilled tuna Korean-style a try!
