Foster's Favorite Teriyaki Tuna Steaks

I barbecued a really wonderful little dish this last weekend. It is a tuna steak dish. To be honest, it was so good, I didn't have a side dish with it!

This dish has a wonderful light flavor and smooth fresh texture from the edges to the center of the steak (if cooked in the proper amount of time).

The recipe is very simple to prepare, however timing and grill temperature are absolutely key to perfecting the doneness of the tuna.

  • 2 Fresh Tuna Steaks cut 1-1.25" thick.
  • 3-4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 Garlic Cloves (crushed with the flat of a knife)
  • 2 Teaspoons Soy Sauce
  • Lemon Pepper
  • Your favorite Teriyaki glaze or marinate. I love Kikkoman in the bottle with the orange label.

I marinated the Tuna steaks for three hours, in a simple coating of olive oil and one teaspoon soy sauce per steak. But first, I rubbed each side with a crushed garlic clove, being careful not to tear or injure the steaks. I poured olive oil, and then sprinkled the soy sauce from the bottle, onto both sides of each steak. I didn't mix the oil and soy sauce together, because I wanted the soy sauce to bead up into distinct little pearls of flavor. I then coated both sides with a liberal shake of Lemon Pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, as I mentioned above.

On a Weber Smokey Joe, over very hot coals (only a small group of coals are needed due to the cooking time involved), I placed dry mesquite chips. I didn't presoak them, because I was after a more robust quick and thick mesquite smoked flavor. I placed the tuna steaks onto the grill topping them quickly with the Teriyaki glaze, and putting the top back on the grill. 3 to 3.5 minutes exactly on each side, leaves the tuna, done to dryish on the outside edges and firm but not dry at all in the center. Once again timing is the key!

I served the Tuna Steaks with lemon wedges. That was all I needed, because I couldn't stop eating them until both steaks were gone. They smelled so good on the grill - I completely forgot about side dishes!
