Grilled Tuna Steaks Baja
by Chef Chris Koch of Friendship Dairies
You’ll work up an appetite taking whacks at the traditional Cinco de Mayo* piñata. Fire up the grill and enjoy this delicious and healthy main course. In addition to iron-packed cumin, fiber-rich cilantro, and free-radical-fighting garlic, the recipe stars tuna, which is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and enough protein to meet daily requirements.
Ingredients:
4 6- to 8-ounce fresh tuna steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon shallot, minced
1 lime, zested and juiced
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cilantro, minced
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except tuna in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together.
Add tuna, turn to coat, let sit covered in refrigerator one hour.
Grill each side ten minutes per inch of thickness over medium-high flame 6 inches above the heat source.
