TUNA

Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼” Yellowfin Steak
  • Grape seed oil
  • Kosher Salt

DIP

  • Soy Lime Dipping Sauce
  • 4 Tbs Soy Sauce
  • 4 Tbs Lime Juice
  • 1 Tbs Ginger, fresh pressed
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tbs Honey
  • ½ tsp red pepper
  • Scallion

Preparation:

  1. Remove the Sear Zone protective cover and preheat the Fire Magic Infrared Sear Burner on high for 5 minutes with the hood down.
  2. Baste the tuna steak in a light coat of grapeseed oil on each side and season generously with kosher salt. Tuna is a beautiful, lean protein and the grapeseed oil has a high flash point that will keep the steak from sticking and contribute to texture and flavor in the final cook.
  3. Lift the Firemagic hood and firmly place the Tuna Steak over direct heat. Let the tuna cook for approx. 2 minutes, Flip and cook for an additional minute or 2. Premium protein like yellowfin tuna is best enjoyed rare to medium rare.  A thick piece of Tuna will give you the chance to build great texture and grilled nuance on the surface while the center remains rare.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the dip ingredients and place on your serving plate.
  5. Pull the meat from the grill and place on a cutting board. Slice crosswise, garnish with scallion and enjoy immediately with the dipping sauce.
