Linda's Awesome Grilled Tuna Steak

Linda's Busy Kitchen's Note:

I love fresh tuna fillets, and I am always looking for new ways to prepare it. Here is one that I created one night when I wanted to experiment. Delicious and very easy to prepare. Try it!!! It will make you a tuna lover too!

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 lb tuna steak , cut into 2 pieces
• 3 -4 teaspoons tony chachere's creole seasoning (green can)
• 2 pats butter
• 2 teaspoons lime juice , fresh is best
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice , fresh is best

Directions:

1. Sprinkle both sides of fillet with Tony's seasoning.
2. Top the fillets with 1 pat of butter on each fillet.
3. Squeeze the lemon and lime all over the fillets, (about 1 teaspoons of each on each fillet).
4. Turn heat on using HIGH setting. Wait for 20 minutes before adding fillets.
5. Grill on preheated grill, over indirect heat for 5 minutes per side, then serve. (The middle will be red and the outside cooked to perfection).
6. Please Note: Cooking the tuna all the way through will take away from the taste and texture of the fish.

Oh Linda, this is my new favorite for fresh tuna! I have never used Tony's before, but you can bet your bottom dollar now that I have tried it I will find lots of use for it! The flavors of the lemon and lime combo with the seasoning was superb. If you like it mild just sprinkle on a little and if you want to heat it up a bit, add more seasoning. The fish was cooked to perfection, seared on the outside and pink in the middle, just like it is supposed to be eaten. This was truly enjoyed and will be repeated many times as we love our seafood here in Maine!

Although I didn't taste this both DH and DS thought it was good. I used creole seasoning which I had in the house and had bottled juices, I'm sure it would have been great with the right ingredients.

When I asked my DW how she liked this tuna, she said it is simply devine! I have to agree it is excellent and we will have it many times. It's a keeper!
