Grilled Marinated “Previously Frozen” Tuna

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • cup fresh orange juice
  • zest orange
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
  • ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 24 oz tuna steaks 4 steaks

Instructions

  • Start by combining the orange zest and juice with the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, dry mustard, salt & pepper in a blender or food processor. Pulse until all the ingredients are well processed.
  • While the motor is running, slowly add the olive oil a little at a time. What you are doing is emulsifying the oil into the other ingredients. If you don't do it this way, the ingredients will separate.
  • Grill the steaks on your favorite grill to the doneness you like. Since these were not fresh, I cooked them all the way through so my girls would eat them.
  • You can store this marinade in the refrigerator in a clean container or freeze it for up to a week.
  • I only marinated the tuna for 30 minutes, and it was great. Imagine how much better it would have been if I had marinated for 3 hours?

Notes

I served the tuna steaks with sautéed vegetables and a couple of artichokes we adventurously ate as a family. By the end of the meal there was butter everywhere.
The time is not including marinating.
Once again, thank you Jim for some amazing recipes.
