Barbecued Bluefin Tuna - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  over 5 hrs

ingredients

2 cups fresh orange juice
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon whole mixed pickling spice
1 can (6 ounce size) tomato paste
1/2 cup sugar
6 bluefin or yellowfin tuna steaks, 1" thick (6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

directions

Whisk the orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, oil, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, black pepper, pickling spice, tomato paste and sugar together in a bowl.

Arrange the tuna steaks in a baking dish large enough to hold them in one layer. Pour the marinade over. Marinate, covered and chilled, overnight or up to 24 hours. Drain, reserving the marinade in a bowl.

Grill on a lightly oiled rack set 3 to 4 inches over glowing coals for 3 minutes on each side. Return the tuna steaks to the baking dish. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade over each. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 4 to 5 minutes or until they are slightly rare. Top each tuna steak with 1 teaspoon of the butter and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
