Bonjour my friends, I’m Frankie and welcome to Club Foody! As a mature woman, I have my own
internal heat to deal with so during the summer, trust me, 90% of the cooking is done
outside! Seriously though, as much as I like blaming it on my menopause, I really enjoy
cooking on the barbecue. I cook almost everything on it including this incredible fish recipe…
In today’s episode, I’ll show you how to make my Grilled Tuna Steaks! Fish on the barbecue
is spectacular when it’s done right! With a beautiful marinade, this tuna
is just delicious! It’s extremely easy and the flavors are amazing!
It’s certainly a great recipe for the summer. So my friends, let’s get cooking!
First, we’ll make the marinade. In a bowl, we’ll add pineapple juice, some olive oil, then sesame
oil followed by soy sauce, some pressed garlic, honey but it can be substituted with agave,
minced ginger, fresh chopped dill as well as fresh chopped chives, and finely, freshly ground black
pepper. We’ll whisk the ingredients until very well blended. Next, we’ll place our tuna steaks in
a large re-sealable plastic bag before pouring the marinade over the fish. We’ll close the bag and
gently toss it so the tuna is well coated. We’ll place the bag in a pie plate just in case it leaks
and transfer it to the fridge for 2 to 3 hours, tossing a couple of times. A few hours later,
we’ll remove it from the fridge and transfer the steaks on the pie plate… hey, why not! We won’t discard
the marinade, no, no, no! No, we’ll transfer it to a small saucepan – this will become our basting
sauce later. We’ll set the heat on medium low just to warm it up. Back to the steaks… We’ll let them
rest until they get to room temperature, about 15 to 20 minutes. Warmer fish will cook better on the
grill than cold ones. So when they get warmer, we’ll move on to the barbecue. We’ll place our
steaks on lightly oiled grates, close the lid and cook about 2:30 minutes at 450ºF/230ºC. About a
minute later, we’ll start basting them with the sauce, close the lid and continue grilling them.
Then we’ll flip them and cook the other side for 2 minutes at the most, again basting the
tuna with the sauce. When they’re done, we’ll spoon the remaining sauce over and enjoy…
And my friends, these are our Grilled Tuna Steaks!
Moist, tender and full of flavor, these steaks pair well with many different summer sides.
The sweet, salty, tangy sauce complements the fish perfectly. It’s a great barbecue recipe for
summer dining... I hope you give it a try soon and be sure to visit clubfoody.com
