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!"

directions

  • In a bowl combine all marinade ingredients until well blended.
  • Place the tuna steaks into a shallow glass dish (I use an 11 x 7-inch baking pan for this).
  • Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks and turn to coat.
  • Cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate 8-24 hours (turning a couple of times during chilling).
  • Preheat the grill to HIGH heat.
  • Oil the grill grate.
  • Remove the steaks from marinade (discard any marinade) and place on a plate.
  • Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  • Grill the steaks for 5 minutes per side or until rare or medium-rare (DO NOT overcook the tuna or it will be dry!).
  • Delicious!

  1. The best tuna I've ever made. The marinade is so good! Perfectly cooked and made for a great quick dinner!
     
  2. I have been making this for over a year now.. and perfect every time. I am having to double the tuna now because everyone comes back for seconds. I literally have to hide my extra portion to eat next day. I make grilled vegetables and rice pilaf with mine. Even the kids who never ate fish love this! A fresh spring mix salad with grilled slices of orange and a light raspberry vinaigrette also great with pieces of tuna for lunch next day.
     
  3. Made this tonight and it was delicious!! All of Kittencal's recipes are right on the money!
     
  4. Very good, even though I didn't get to marinate it for 8 hrs, still delicious!
     
  5. Again, another fantastic recipe from my favorite chef, Kittencal!! I made this exactly as posted and it turned out PERFECT! The combination of flavors in the marinate is prefect. I grilled the steaks leaving some pink inside and they were moist and soooooooo tasty. I served them with an oriental salad and the two dishes complimented each other perfectly. Thank you for sharing Kittencal. I always know if it has your name on it, it will be delicious.

  1. tell me the difference between this recipe and http://naturalherbal.org/marinated-tuna-recipe-5-person/
     
  2. Kittencal, even with my Fijian variations, this was great. Very simple. Very good. I have a confession to make 'though. FIJI being rather difficult to find ingredients, I ended up using Teriyaki instead of Hoisin and parsley was nowhere to be found...and I forgot the black pepper! But everyone raved about it. Marinated 6 hours. I cut our steaks 3cm thick and they were perfect.
