Grilled Ahi Tuna Steaks

INGREDIENTS

• One or two ¾” to 1″ thick tuna steaks—about 4-5 ounces per person
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar—I’ve also used white balsamic vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons BBQ sauce
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine all ingredients (minus the fish) into a shaker or blender, and mix well.
2. Marinate fish in ½ the vinaigrette for 20 minutes or so, reserving the rest of the vinaigrette for later.
3. Heat the grill, and rub grill with oil OR or heat the grill pan with a small amount of oil added.
4. Place marinated Ahi Tuna on the heated surface.
5. Quickly baste fish with ½ of the reserved vinaigrette and grill for 90-120 seconds on first side—there should be a VERY light golden brown color on the surface of the steak.
6. Flip, and grill for another 90-120 seconds—DO NOT OVER COOK! You should be lightly searing the outside of the tuna, leaving the inside raw, not rare, raw.
7. Remove fish from grill and cut into ¼” thick slices.
8. Pour remaining vinaigrette over the sliced Ahi Tuna and serve.
