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!

Time 8h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 (4 ounce) fresh tuna steaks
ground black pepper (to taste) or lemon pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon lime juice
3 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 fresh garlic cloves, minced (can use less if desired)

Steps:

  • 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!
