GRILLED TUNA STEAKS

Steps:

• To grill the tuna, get a charcoal or stove-top cast-iron grill very hot. Brush the fish with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill each side for only 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. The center should be raw, like sushi, or the tuna will be tough and dry. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes and serve.

Steps:

• Cut a pocket into the side of the tuna steaks; set aside.

Place stuffed tuna steaks in a large resealable plastic bag with the salad dressing. Squeeze out air and seal bag. Place in second bag to prevent any leaking. Marinate in refrigerator 1 to 3 hours.
• Remove tuna from marinade and let come to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Discard marinade.
• Heat an oiled grill pan over medium-high heat. Place tuna in grill pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until done. Be careful not to cook past medium or tuna will dry out quickly. Remove from grill pan and set aside.
• Place salad mix onto a large serving platter. Garnish with slices of boiled egg, green beans, tomato wedges, and sliced potatoes. Remove toothpicks from tuna and place on top of greens.

SEARED TUNA WITH JAPANESE SALSA

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients for the sauce. Add the chopped tomato, cilantro and onion. Season the tuna very well with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, sear the tuna for 30 seconds on each side. Remove from heat and slice the tuna into 1/4-inch slices. To serve, neatly arrange the tuna slices and avocado slices on a plate and drizzle the sauce over the tuna.

JAPANESE MARINATED FILLET OF TUNA

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Add the tuna and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Thirty minutes before cooking, remove the tuna from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Preheat a grill or broiler.
• In a large, nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Add the greens and cook until wilted. Add the water, salt and pepper. Cook just until greens are tender. Set aside and keep warm.
• Drain the tuna steaks and pat them dry. Brush with the remaining olive oil. Grill or broil until charred on the outside but still pink in the center, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Divide the greens among 4 plates. Place a piece of tuna over the greens. Top with some of the pickled ginger and serve immediately.

• Just before grilling, remove from refrigerator; remove tuna from marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Grill fish until charred on the outside but still pink inside, 2 to 5 minutes per side.

GRILLED TERIYAKI TUNA

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the teriyaki sauce, oil, garlic, and pepper. Place the tuna fillets in the bag. Seal the bag with as little air in it as possible. Give the mix a good shake, to ensure the tuna fillets are well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
