Grilled Ahi Steaks ( Yellow Fin Tuna) Recipe
Ingredients
- 2-8 ounce yellow fin tuna steaks
Directions
- In a shallow 9 X 13 inch glass dish, prepare all of the marinade ingredients. Remember, if you have more than 2 8 ounce tuna steaks, you might need to adjust the ingredients to marinate. Marinate both sides (dredge steaks and get marinade on both sides). Let sit in refrigerator for 30 min before grilling. *Soy sauce will overpower tuna if you marinate for too long!
- Light the grill while tuna is marinating. Once coals are white (30 min) spread them and clean the grill, then wipe with oil so steaks do not stick.
- Grill for 4 min or possibly less per side for 1 inch steaks, depending on how you like them. Steaks should be hard with pink in the middle. If you prefer steaks to be more rare, grilling time should be 2 1/2 min on each side.
- Recommended Side dishes: Serve with white and long grain wild rice (We used Vigo) and grilled yellow squash cut lengthwise, sprinkled with Sea Salt and pepper squash and drizzled with Extra Virgin Extra virgin olive oil. Use the same marinade as for the tuna. For grilled squash, brush with marinade frequently during grilling, and grill till just tender.
