Ingredients for Allen Frey S Tuna Steaks

  • Tamari Soy Sauce
  • Lemon Juice
  • Lime Juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Tuna Steaks
  • Wood Chips

How to Make Allen Frey S Tuna Steaks

  1. Whisk together the marinade: 2 tablespoons tamari, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Place 1-2 pounds of tuna steaks (1-1.5 inches thick) in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare your stovetop smoker with cherry wood chips according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the tuna steaks on the smoker rack. Smoke for 13-14 minutes over medium heat, avoiding overcooking (tuna will continue to cook slightly after removing from heat).
  3. At this stage, the tuna should be slightly raw in the center – this is the ideal texture for many! Remove from smoker and serve immediately.
  4. For completely cooked tuna, after step 2, grill the steaks for 2 minutes per side over medium-high heat on a separate grill pan or skillet.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
