Unknown
edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
Ok, so I've got some thick tuna steaks that I'm going to cook tonight, and I know i've seen somewhere on here at some point that had some sort of a marinade/baste that was some sort of lime/garlic maybe. If anyone can help me with this i would apprciate, or if anyone has an idea that they just love, please feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance for all of your expertise.

    Lawry's 30 minute "Havana Garlic & Lime" marinade works great!
  • Thanks, I'll have to try that also.

    Sorry, but I have to throw in one more:

    Tuna steaks
    from Weber’s recipe list.

    Marinade:
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    6 tablespoons Asian-style sesame oil
    6 tablespoons rice vinegar
    Juice of 1/2 lemon
    1 & 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 crushed Thai, Hunan, or other tiny hot red chile

    4 tuna steaks, each about 1 inch thick

    1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, either kosher or sea salt. (Do not use regular table salt!)

    **********

    1. Heat up a cast iron skillet. HOT!

    2. While the skillet is heating up, place tuna steaks in non-reactive dish and pour the marinade over the tuna. (Do not use an aluminum pan) Allow steaks to sit in the marinade at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

    3. Stabilize Egg at about 225*.

    4. Sprinkle cast iron skillet with kosher salt. Drain the steaks and sear about 1 minute on both sides. (This is going to make a lot of smoke.)

    5. Transfer the steaks to the Egg and cook to desired doneness, 20 to 25 minutes for medium-rare. Avoid over cooking.

    **********

    Sauce:
    1 cup hoisin sauce
    1/2 cup rice vinegar
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    2 teaspoons minced ginger
    1 teaspoon ground anise
    2 garlic cloves garlic, minced

    1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and warm them over low heat for about 10 minutes.

    2. Serve the sauce hot or at room temperature. It keeps, refrigerated, for several weeks.

    Serving suggestion: You can thin the sauce with a little water and use it in a stir-fry with broccoli, scallions, red bell peppers, and sliced water chestnuts.

    tuna au poive is a popular one too.
    just salt and coarse cracked pepper on the tuna and then a simple sauce
