Mark's Grillin'

Mark made us some fabulous grilled tuna tonight for dinner, it was sssoooooooo good!! I'd never had fresh tuna before but after tonight I think it is among my favorites for fish. I've included the marinade he used....its excellent.


*Mark's fish was compared to a fine restaurant, I think it was much better!*

Marinade:
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 clove crushed garlic (for each steak)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
small amount of sea salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

In a shallow 9 X 13 inch glass dish, prepare all of the
marinade ingredients. Remember, if you have more than 2 8
oz tuna steaks, you might need to adjust the ingredients to
marinate. Marinate both sides (dredge steaks and get
marinade on both sides). Let sit in refrigerator for 30
minutes before grilling. *Soy sauce will overpower tuna if
you marinate for too long!
Grill for 4 minutes or less per side for 1 inch steaks,
depending on how you like them. Steaks should be firm with
pink in the middle. If you prefer steaks to be more rare,
grilling time should be 2 1/2 minutes on each side.

*the recipe was doubled for the amount of fish we had, we had 32oz of tuna*
*we served it with grilled corn, grapes & raspberry salad...the guys loved it*

Ah, Mark's growing up. :P
If he had half the talents he's accumulated since leaving home while he still lived here, I might think of him higher than as the brother who pushed me onto couches (and sometimes INto them)!

;) Looks great!

I agree with Jenni, you should do a show! I would watch too! Maybe the next time "The Next Food Network Star" comes on you should sign up! This recipe sounds yummy also!!
