How to Make Strawberry Margarita Tuna

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together ½ cup margarita mix, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Place 2 (6-ounce) tuna steaks in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat broiler to high. Place tuna steaks on a broiler pan.
  4. Brush tuna steaks generously with the marinade. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the tuna steaks using a large spatula. Brush with remaining marinade and sprinkle with another ¼ teaspoon salt.
  7. Broil for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the tuna flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Discard any remaining marinade. Top the cooked tuna steaks with ¼ cup sliced fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of crushed pretzels (about 1 tablespoon). Serve immediately.
