Spicy Grilled Tuna Steaks Rub

“I've got fresh grilled tuna for supper but I only bought 3 steaks and we've got one extra to feed and then there's a sleep over”. Where can I get a fresh tuna steak at this hour on a Friday I moaned to my work colleagues? Not only was the answer by return, it also came with an idea how to grill my tuna. So Steve, this one's for you, mate.

It's essentially a rub moistened up with a little olive oil and then seared on the hotplate, not difficult and well worth the trouble of opening your spice drawer.

Not only does the spice mix add flavor it also adds a crust to the fish that seals in the juices - wonderful. To cook tuna perfectly I like to use a steak that's about 1 inch thick and give it a couple of minutes on each side, it should still be raw in the middle. This timing is perfect not just to get the tuna right on the inside but it's also bang on for getting that spicy crust on the outside.

Ingredients:-

• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Olive oil

Method:-

Guess what? Spoon out all your ingredients, mix together and sprinkle over your tuna steak as if you were flouring it - you don't need to rub it in or pat it down. Drizzle with olive oil and you're ready to go whenever the hotplate is up to temperature.

So to the cooking of the tuna steaks it's a couple of minutes on each side on the searing plates and you're ready to serve.

I served mine with a few sliced grilled potatoes.
