Tips

Buy fresh tuna. When choosing tuna, pay attention to its color and size. Buy tuna that is bright and pink-red in color. Buy from fishermen or grocery stores you trust.
Dry tuna steak with paper towels and grease. This will prevent the fish from sticking to the grill.
Make sure the tuna steak is not too thin or too thick. If the steak is too thin, it may fall apart on the grill. If it is too thick, it may not be cooked.
Marinate the tuna steak for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Be careful not to make the marinade in a copper or aluminum container. Many ingredients in marinade are acidic and can react with metal. Therefore, prepare the sauce in a ceramic or stainless steel container.
Before cooking the fish, clean and oil the grill. In this way, you can prevent the fish from sticking to the grill.
Heat the grill to medium-high. Make sure the grill is hot enough before grilling the tuna.
Do not overcook the fish. Tuna cooks quickly. Check the fish on the grill. The middle of the fish should be raw like sushi, or the tuna will be tough and dry. Rare-medium tuna is perfect for this recipe.
You can make this recipe in a grill pan on the grill or on the cast iron skillet.
