Spicy Tuna Steaks
When it comes to cooking tuna steaks on a barbecue make sure that you do so on a very high heat. Also use the best quality steaks you can, as these will only require warming through to the middle.
Ingrediënten
- 6 Small Tuna Steaks Weighing Around 170grams Each
- 80 ml Olive Oil
- 80 ml Lemon Juice Fresh Would Be Best
- 4 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro Leaves
- 3 Garlic Cloves Minced
- 3 Shallots Minced
- 2 Teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- 2 Teaspoons Ground Cumin
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
Instructies
- In a bowl combine together well the lemon juice, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons of the cilantro leaves, garlic, shallots, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt.
- Now into a large resealable bag you place the tuna steaks and then pour the sauce you have just made over them.
- Make sure that you turn the bag over several times to ensure the sauce coats the steaks evenly then place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow them to marinate in the sauce.
- About 15 minutes before you remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator you should start up your barbecue so it is heated up correctly for cooking the steaks on it.
- Just before you take the steaks out of the marinade after removing from the refrigerator lightly oil the grill on your barbecue and then place the tuna steaks on them.
- Make sure the grill is placed as close to the heat source as possible as you need to cook the steaks on a high heat.
- You should cook each side of the tuna steaks for around 4 to 5 minutes or until you feel they are cooked to the way people enjoy eating this type of fish.
- Once they are cooked remove from the barbecue place on clean plates and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and then serve.
