This recipe for BBQ grilled tuna can easily be seared in a pan too so simply allow the marinade to work its magic and select the cooking method of your choice. You need to leave the marinade for a couple of hours to do the job so take account of this when planning your preparation time.
Tuna (in my opinion) should be cooked lightly and so that it’s still raw in the middle. I go for a hot grill, a one inch thick steak and two minutes each side but of course the final decision is yours. What really matters is that your fish is supremely fresh!
Ingredients:-
4 Tuna steaks cut 1 inch thick
Juice of one lemon
Handful of chopped basil
1 teaspoon dried chili flakes
1 clove of garlic chopped
Method:-
Throw all the ingredients (except for the tuna) into a food processor and blitz. Lay the tuna steaks out in a marinating bowl and pour the marinade over then set aside for a couple of hours.
Get the grill really hot and slap the steaks on for 2 minutes each side and serve immediately with new potatoes and a green salad.
