Tuna steaks are especially tasty when grilled. For a yummy treat in no time flat, try this easy, Asian inspired recipe.

Ingredients:

Tuna steaks (sliced two inches thick)
Sesame oil
Soy sauce
Lime juice

Directions: Soak two-inch thick tuna steaks in a combination of lime juice and soy sauce for fifteen minutes prior to cooking. Meanwhile, as you preheat the barbecue to medium-high, brush the grill lightly with sesame oil. Cook the tuna steaks for about four minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the soy and lime juice mixture. Tuna is best when still red to pink in the centre.

Quick Tip: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top of the cooked tuna steaks. To toast sesame seeds – which brings out their flavour – place them in a small, dry skillet in a single layer and cook at medium, shaking the pan frequently, until the seeds darken slightly and begin to make a popping sound. This can also be done in a cast iron skillet directly on the grill.
