Seared Tuna Steaks

www.biggreenegg.co.uk

Tuna is a very lean fish and could quickly dry out when cooked on a grill. Luckily with the EGG, this is less likely to happen but it is still a good idea to marinade the tuna. Adding oil to the fish greatly reduces the risk of the fish drying out. The other important part is to quickly cook the tuna for just a couple of minutes each side, ensuring that is nicely seared but also still moist within. We have used the Half Moon Cast Iron Griddle, which is optional but helps to retain moisture and keeps a certain amount of marinade in contact with the tuna whilst cooking. The grilled bok choy is a perfect accompaniment for this dish, the lime juice adds that necessary bitterness to balance the sweetness of the marinade.
