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.

- 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.

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!
