BBQ Grilled Tuna Recipe

This recipe for BBQ grilled tuna can easily be seared in a pan as well as on the BBq grill 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. For that reason I tend to go for cooking tuna on the searing plates of a gas grill because it's really difficult to get a charcoal grill up to the sort of temperature that I'm looking for without piling on a bucket load of charcoal - something of a waste of money for cooking fish that takes no more than a couple of minutes on each side.

I go for a hot grill, a one inch thick steak and exactly 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.

Check out all those wonderful colors!

Get the grill really hot and slap the steaks on for 2 minutes each side turning just once and serve immediately with new potatoes and a green salad.
