Grill Ahi Tuna Steaks

Do you want to make a quick and easy gourmet style meal? How about grilling some Ahi Tuna Steaks?

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Boneless tuna steaks 1-1/2 to 2 inches thick, (Ahi is best but or other Tunas will do)
  • Vegetable oil, (or Margarine)
  • Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Lemon Pepper
  • Dill Weed (optional)
  • Paprika (optional)
  1. Step 1

    Combine equal amount of Salt, Pepper and Lemon Pepper with just a "pinch" of Paprika and Dill Weed for color and appearance

  2. Step 2

    Mix your seasoning together in a bowl, (lifting and sifting with a folk).

  3. Step 3

    Barely cover the Grill or the bottom of the Pan with your oil (cast iron works best and heats most evenly).

  4. Step 4

    Heat the Grill/Pan to Medium Heat.

  5. Step 5

    Rub the seasonings into the steaks very lightly and gently (be carful not to tear the tender flakes).

  6. Step 6

    After the Grill/Pan is up to temperature, place your lightly seasoned Tuna Steak on the heated surface.

  7. Step 7

    Heat until the edges turn white and flip once, (about 4 minutes). Then heat the second side for about 3 minutes.

  8. Step 8

    There will be a VERY light golden brown color on the surface of the steaks and the sides will be completely white when the steaks are done.

  9. Step 9
    Savor the Flavor!
    Savor the Flavor!

    Now Savor the Flavor!

Tips & Warnings
  • A few drops of Lemon juice over the top when done is good.
  • Make sure the cooking surface is up to temperature before laying the Tuna on it.
  • Do NOT over cook.

Before you make negative comments to my articles again, please read the actual article?

* 1. I never mentioned anything about overcooking the tuna.

* 2. If you don’t like it, don’t use my recipe. Cook your food however you like to cook it. It’s that simple.
Thanks.
John
