Ingredients

  • 4 Tuna Steaks (6-8 ounces each
  • 1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil
  • 1/4 cup Black Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Coarse Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the Blackstone grill to as hot as it will get (approximately 500-700 degrees F).
  • Pat the tuna steaks dry. Rub the 1/2 the oil onto all sides of the tuna steaks.
  • Mix together the salt and pepper and pour it on a plate. Press both sides of the tuna steaks into the mixture to coat it with the seasoning mixture.
  • Drizzle the remaining oil onto the Blackstone Grill and use a spatula to spread it out.
  • Place the tuna steaks on the Blackstone Grill over the oil.  Cook until well-seared and the tuna starts to release itself from the grill (approximately 1-2 minutes).  Flip the tuna and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes as well until browned. You can also sear the short sides of the tuna by using tongs to turn the tuna steaks on their sides and grilling for a few minutes. If you measure the internal temperature of the tuna steaks they should be approximately 115-125 degrees F. The middle of the tuna should still be pink.
  • Remove the tuna from the Blackstone grill, slice the tuna against the grain and serve immediately.

Notes

 
Expert Tips
  • Cooking Tuna Steaks - We love cooking these tuna steaks to medium-rare.  If you prefer them slightly more cooked, move the steaks over to indirect heat on the grill (turn off half of the grill) until it’s cooked to the temperature you prefer.
  • Seasoning - Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper but you can easily use other types of seasoning.
  • Heat Griddle - Make sure the griddle is hot and oil before placing the tuna steaks on the griddle.
