Marinated Grilled Tuna Steak

Recipe #304590 | ½ day | 8 hours prep | add private note

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!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

MARINADE

Directions

  1. 1
    In a bowl combine all marinade ingredients until well blended.
  2. 2
    Place the tuna steaks into a shallow glass dish (I use an 11 x 7-inch baking pan for this).
  3. 3
    Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks and turn to coat.
  4. 4
    Cover with plastic wrap.
  5. 5
    Refrigerate 8-24 hours (turning a couple of times during chilling).
  6. 6
    Preheat the grill to HIGH heat.
  7. 7
    Oil the grill grate.
  8. 8
    Remove the steaks from marinade (discard any marinade) and place on a plate.
  9. 9
    Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  10. 10
    Grill the steaks for 5 minutes per side or until rare or medium-rare (DO NOT overcook the tuna or it will be dry!).
  11. 11
    Delicious!

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.

    These were fantastic! Thank you Kittencal for yet another winning recipe I made these on the fly when my hubby called me to say they caught a 200lb tuna out on the boat with his buddies. That's a lotta tuna! I've never cooked tuna before but gave this recipe a go. I didn't have fresh parsley on hand so I skipped that. I was only able to let them marinade 3.5 hours and I forgot to oil my grill but my tuna steaks came out mouth watering and absolutely delicious! Yum, try it!
