How to Make Spicy Grilled Caribbean Tuna

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat.
  2. Line your grill pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup (optional).
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Add the tuna steaks (about 1 inch thick) to the marinade, ensuring they are coated on all sides. Let marinate for 5 minutes.
  5. Grill the tuna for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature (125-135°F for medium-rare).
  6. Remove from grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro (optional).
