Grilling Tuna Steak For A Simple Gourmet Meal
Posted on : 19-07-2010 | By : admin | In : Grilling, Tuna
Looking for a delicious and simple procedure to grill up that fresh tuna steak that you just caught or bought from the local seafood market? Grilled tuna steak is a delightful and exciting entree for any special meal. There are various approaches to spice up and flavor your catch, but today we want to talk about a popular method using wasabi powder.
This unique spice is being used by many top chefs to add a special flare and flavoring to the tuna.
Assemble the following recipe ingredients:
• tuna steaks, cut to a thickness of 3/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch each ( your preference )
• 4 to 6 ounces of butter
• 1 cup of teriyaki marinade
• 1 tablespoon of wasabi powder
• 2 chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil, peanut oil, or vegetable oil
• salt and pepper to run up against
Get started by marinating the tuna in the teriyaki marinade. Place the tuna into the marinade and to some degree coat both sides of the meat. Cover, place into the refrigerator and let the tuna sit and marnate for an hour or more, overnight is good too.
When ready, start up your grill and get it befitting and hot, but not too hot. Ideally bring it to the same temperature as if you were grilling a regular beef steak on the grill. then mix the wasabi powder, butter and the green onions together and place it aside for the time being. Once the grill is to the ideal temperature and you are ready, at that time brush the oil onto the tuna steaks and season the meat with salt and pepper to suffer. While grilling, periodically baste the tuna with the left over teriyaki marinade. This will help to keep the tuna moist and add additional flavor. Cook until they are done to your desired temperature, then serve with the butter. You can also let some butter melt on the tuna fillets as they are cooking as well.
Alternative set of recipe ingredients and marinade flavoring:
• tuna steaks, 1-inch thick
• Sesame oil
• 1 rounded tsp. cornstarch
• 1/3 c. rice vinegar
• 1/3 c. mirin
• 1/3 c. soy sauce
• 3 tbsp. minced crystallized ginger
