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

3 (4 ounce) fresh tuna steaks
ground black pepper or lemon pepper (to taste)

MARINADE

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

Directions

1
In a bowl combine all marinade ingredients until well blended.
2
Place the tuna steaks into a shallow glass dish (I use an 11 x 7-inch baking pan for this).
3
Pour the marinade over the tuna steaks and turn to coat.
4
Cover with plastic wrap.
5
Refrigerate 8-24 hours (turning a couple of times during chilling).
6
Preheat the grill to HIGH heat.
7
Oil the grill grate.
8
Remove the steaks from marinade (discard any marinade) and place on a plate.
9
Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
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
Delicious!

Wonderful taste sensation, the orange juice accent came through as the dominant taste, but this was luscious. We make a special day trip to get a guaranteed-fresh yellow-fin tuna steak (1 pound), to split between the two of us. I also used my grill frying pan with great success. To help the marinade do its job, please be sure to cut into serving pieces before marinating. Kit, I knew I could count on you! Another winner! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag.

Great recipe Kitten (as usual)! I used my grill frying pan and made exactly as stated. I turned out perfect. Some pink inside and nice flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

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!
