Ingredients 3
- 2 6 ounce high quality ahi tuna steaks (sashimi grade recommended but not required, wild caught if possible)*
- Kosher salt
- Fresh ground pepper
Method 4
- 01
Preheat a grill to as hot as it gets (500 to 700°F). Allow the tuna to come to room temperature.
- 02
Pat the tuna dry. Sprinkle it liberally with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper on both sides.
- 03
Add the steaks to the grill and cook 30 to 60 seconds per side, until lightly browned on the outside but still raw on the inside (115°F if measured with a food thermometer). If you’d like to sear the short sides, turn the tuna with tongs and sear each side for a few seconds.
- 04
To serve, slice the tuna against the grain into ½ inch slices. Serve immediately.
