Grilled Citrus Tuna

By Derrick Riches, About.com

The real secret to grilling tuna steaks is to avoid overcooking them. Grill the tuna hot and fast and take them off the grill as soon as you can. The fresher and better quality the tuna the rarer you can leave it. Personally I like it seared on the surface and warmed in the middle.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 pounds tuna steaks
  • 1 cup each orange and grapefruit juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon paprika

Preparation:

Mix juices, sherry, thyme, cayenne and salt in a shallow baking dish. Add fish and allow to marinate 2 hours in refrigerator. Preheat and oil grill. Remove fish from marinade. Place fish on grill and sprinkle with paprika. Turn after about 5-7 minutes and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes.
