Tims Marinated Tuna Steaks Recipes

SEARED TUNA STEAK

Steps:

• Smash up the chilli and the coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar.
• Peel and chop the garlic, pick and finely chop the herb leaves and add it all to the pestle and mortar with a drizzle of oil and lemon juice, to taste. Mix together, and season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Lay out your tuna steaks on a tray, season both sides and rub all over with the herb mixture.
• There are two nice ways to cook it: I prefer to cook it on a griddle pan or in a frying pan.
• Your pan should be very, very hot. Put in the tuna and what you want to do is sear it so that it toasts, fries and browns (about 45 to 60 seconds on each side).
• Once cooked, I like to rip the steaks in half and serve with salad and chips or boiled potatoes and a big wedge of lemon. It's quite sexy sometimes with some marinated sun-dried tomatoes, olives, basil... The possibilities are endless.

GINGER-MARINATED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except tuna.
• Place tuna steaks in a plastic ziploc type bag. Add Marinade to bag and seal. Set bag in a shallow pan.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally to coat.
• Lightly coat the grill rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Drain tuna and discard marinade.
• Grill fish for 10 ro 12 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork (about 145 degrees F), turning once.

MARINATED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Mix together: soy, sherry, lemon juice, zest, garlic and olive oil.
• Marinate the steaks in this for up to 1 hour, turning frequently.
• When ready to cook, lift from the marinade and sprinkle with black pepper.
• Heat a grill pan or a frying pan (not using any oil or butter) until really hot and sear the steaks for several minutes on both sides to your likeness but do not over-cook them.
• Or cook them on the barbque.

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the lemon juice with 1/2 cup olive oil in a sealable plastic bag; seal and shake. Add the tuna steaks and store in refrigerator to marinate while the grill preheats.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk the brown mustard, mustard powder, sugar, vinegar, and 1/3 cup olive oil together in a bowl; stir in the dill.
• Remove the tuna from the marinade and discard the marinade; cook the steaks on the preheated grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 6 minutes per side. Drizzle the steaks with the mustard and dill sauce to serve.

MARINATED TUNA STEAK

Steps:

• In a large non-reactive dish, mix together the orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, oregano, and pepper. Place the tuna steaks in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Cook the tuna steaks for 5 to 6 minutes, then turn and baste with the marinade. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or to desired doneness. Discard any remaining marinade.

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS WITH ASIAN SESAME CRUST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large zip-top bag, combine the soy sauce, chopped scallions, lemon juice, sesame oil, and fresh ginger. Swish everything around in the bag until it's well combined.
• Add the tuna steaks, turning to coat them completely with the marinade. Press the excess air out of the bag, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat; this can be a countertop contact grill, an open grill pan, or an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. If using a contact grill, set to "sear" or the highest temperature setting.
• Place the sesame seeds on a plate or a shallow dish. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, brushing the scallions off the steaks; reserve the marinade. One at a time, coat the steaks in sesame seeds on all sides, pressing the seeds onto the steaks so they'll stick.
• Spray the grill plates lightly with nonstick spray and place the steaks on the grill. If using a contact grill, close the cover so the top grill rests evenly on the steaks; do not press down. Grill for about 3 minutes for a rare, pink interior; grill longer if you prefer your tuna cooked through.
• If you are using an open grilling surface, carefully flip the tuna steaks with a pair of tongs after 3 minutes and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the steaks from the grill and keep warm.
• While the tuna cooks, pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry and add to the saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
• To serve, slice the tuna steaks on the diagonal into thin pieces. Fan the slices on a plate and drizzle with the sauce.

MARINATED SEARED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Instructions

MARINATED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients of the marinade and whisk together with a fork.
• Place tuna steaks in a gallon zip-lock bag and add marinade, reserving 1 tablespoon. Let marinade for 15 minutes - 2 hours.
• Add cooking oil to a heated skillet set to medium-high heat.
• When oil is heated and shimmering add tuna steaks. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, aiming to sear the exterior while the interior remains pink.
• Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes, spoon over the remaining tablespoon of marinade if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds, then serve.

MARINATED SEARED AHI TUNA

Steps:

• Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the first 7 ingredients to make a marinade. Towel dry tuna steaks and place in a glass or ceramic dish. Pour marinade over the fish, turning to coat well throughout. Cover tightly and chill several hours to overnight; turn fish over at least once in the middle of marinade time.
• Sear: Heat 3 TB oil in a large heavy skillet (aluminum or stainless steel; not nonstick) until oil is smoking. Sear ahi steaks 1 1/2 minutes per side on high heat, taking care to flip carefully with a flat, steel spatula. (If your tuna is less than 1 1/2 inches thick, sear for only 1 minute per side.)
• Rest/Cool: Transfer seared ahi to a large cutting board and let rest/cool 10 minutes. Use a very sharp (serrated works well) knife to slice thinly across the grain.
• Serve: Serve chilled or at room temp, over your favorite salad greens or crispy Asian salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro or green onions, if desired. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo if desired.

TUNA STEAKS, GRILLED AND MARINATED

Steps:

• Combine the lime juice, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, cumin and hot pepper sauce in a glass or ceramic dish large enough to hold the fish snugly in a single layer.
• Cut the fish into six uniform pieces. Place them in the dish, turn them once to coat both sides, cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. Turn the fish once while it is marinating.
• Heat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the tuna until it is seared on the outside but still rare in the middle, two to three minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish and the heat of the grill or broiler.
• Serve at once topped with the pepper salsa.
