Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

In a shallow dish or resealable bag, gently place the tuna steaks and pour the Italian dressing over them, ensuring both sides are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. (Time: 20 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400-450°F or 200-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grate with a high-smoke-point oil like avocado or grapeseed oil to prevent sticking. (Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Carefully place the marinated tuna steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until the tuna lightens in color and develops beautiful grill marks, while still retaining a thin line of pink in the center for optimal tenderness. (Time: 10 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Remove the tuna steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (Time: 2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after grilling.
Do not over-marinate the tuna, as the acid in the dressing can break down the delicate proteins.
A cast iron grill grate will provide superior searing.

    I was skeptical about using just salad dressing, but it worked beautifully! The tuna was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing.
