Grilled tuna steak with chipotle sauce

Author Paula Bendfeldt-Diaz

Ingredients

  • FOR THE TUNA
  • no stick spray
  • olive oil for brushing on the tuna steaks
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • FOR THE CHIPOTLE SAUCE
  • 4 1 inch tuna steaks
  • 1 cup plain yogurt I used European style yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce– add more or less depending on how spicy you like it
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 tsp. cumin

Instructions

  1. Apply some nonstick spray to the unheated grill.
  2. Heat up the grill and make sure it’s really hot.
  3. Brush the tuna steaks with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Place tuna steaks on the grill and grill each side for only 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.  You just want to sear it. The center should be raw, like sushi, or the tuna will be tough and dry.
  5. Use a spatula to flip the tuna to prevent the fish from falling apart.
  6. To prepare the sauce place the chipotles in adobo sauce in a food processor and pulse until it has become a smooth sauce.
  7. Combine the chipotle sauce with the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  8. Cut the tuna steak into thin slices and plate over a bed of greens.
  9. Spoon chipotle sauce over the tuna and enjoy!
