Grilled Yellow Fin Tuna with Tomatillos Salsa



Grilled Yellow Fin Tuna



Servings:4
Ingredients
4 each 8 oz. yellow fin tuna steaks
as needed salt and pepper
2 oz oil



Method of Preparation:
Add enough oil to both sides of the tuna and season with salt and pepper. {Be sure to add enough salt and pepper because when you start to cook the grill or grill pan will take some off.} Let the tuna sit out for one hour before cooking to prevent ice cold center when you eat and to help browning, and prevent your grill or grill pan from getting to cold at the start of cooking. Use this time to heat your grill or 30 minutes to heat your grill pan. Add fish to the grill and let it be. This will create those nice X marks. Let cook for 2 min then turn 90 degrees and cook for 2 more minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for about 2 minutes for rare. Cook longer for a more well done steak.



Notes
Fresh herbs can be added. It is up to you what to use. Just add them when you salt and pepper. Sesame seeds can also be use and added at that time also.

Servings:4 for sauce
Ingredients



1 lbs tomatillos diced small
1/2 each lime & lemon juiced
1 each large garlic clove minced
1/2 each red pepper diced
1/2 cup minced onion or shallot
