Ingredients
- Four fresh tuna steaks, each about 1 inch thick (approximately 4 pounds total)
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat a charcoal grill or stove-top cast-iron grill until extremely hot.
- Brush the tuna steaks lightly with olive oil and season both sides generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Grill the tuna for about 2 to 2 minutes on each side. The key is keeping the inside rare, sushi-style, so the tuna stays tender and moist instead of becoming dry and tough.
- Remove the steaks and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
