- Rinse the tuna with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rub each side of the tuna pieces with a little of the olive oil.
- Sprinkle one side of each portion with 1 1/2 teaspoons jerk mixture; pat the seasoning onto the fish, turn and repeat with the second side.
- Let stand for 1 hour, until the seasoning is moistened, turning once.
- Store extra jerk blend in a sealed jar for up to 6 months.
- Grill the tuna over moderately-hot fire for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once.
- Do not overcook, since the seafood will continue to cook once taken from the fire.
- Serve with grilled plantains and a salad of chayote, orange and sweet onion, if you like.
