Tuna Marinade?

Hey Bert.. sams club sells yoshida's gourmet sauces.. the teriyaki is pretty good to brush on as you grill. I am sure some others have some good ones as well. I also dredge the tuna steak in crushed red pepper and blacken it in an iron skillet w/ butter and olive oil. // It seems with tuna it tastes better if you keep it simple. We tried to get fancy one night with different sauces and spices and it turned out terrible.

 

melted butter...one stick
3 mashed cloves of garlic
juice of one lemon
2 tablespoonsful of soy sauce

melt butter with garlic cloves in microwave or sautee' over stove with garlic. Add lemon juice and soy sauce. When cooled....soak tuna...or any fish...in the marinade and grill.

 

I personally like plain old teryaki marinade. Bbq ain't half bad either...

1/4 cup soy sauce
Add Wasabi, Brown Sugar and Rice Wine Vinegar to taste. This is normally at least 1tbs of sugar and vinegar and 2 pea sized mounds of wasabi powder.

 

Hoisen sauce is the bomb. I marinade them in hoisen and then grill. The hoisen is a sweet sauce that can be found in the asian section of the grocery store. I usually add a little soy to the mix too. Makes for some awesome grilling. I found out about the hoisen due to brets mixture. I just toyed around with a bunch of mixes till I found one I liked a whole bunch. I too add crushed red and black pepper

 

I found a pepper seared tuna recipe by bobby flay that is very good, but when you cook it the smoke runs everyone out of the house hacking and crying. It has chile de arbol, chile cascabel, and two or three other crushed chile's, you can find most of the dried peppers in the mex-food section. Here it is.... try it and let me know if you like it.

3 tablespoons ancho chili powder
3 tablespoons pasilla chili powder
3 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons ground coriander

This one always turns out good....
Marinate the Tuna steak in Italian dressing, worchestershire, lots of purple onion, cilantro, and fresh garlic. Place on grill for just a few minutes on each side. As soon as you turn the steak the first time place a big spoonful of the marinade on top of the steak and finish cooking.
