Fish is so easy to prepare and it doesn't take very long to cook. The heat in this dish is cooled with a fresh mango salsa or a sour cream dipping sauce

For the rub
2 tablespoons Serrano pepper minced

1 tablespoon dried cilantro
¼ cup sesame oil
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
4 - tuna steaks (8 ounces)Sushi/Sashimi Grade Tuna
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients through the salt and pepper and mix well. Rub the tuna steaks generously with the spice rub. Place them on the grill over a hot fire and cook for about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove from the grill and serve with the
Mango Lime Salsa or sour cream dipping sauce made by combining one cup sour cream with juice from one lemon and a teaspoon fresh minced cilantro
Terri’s Tips:
Cook tuna according to thickness of the steaks. Be careful not to overcook; this will dry the tuna out
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little extra heat
Use leftover tuna to make my tuna salad recipe T.G.'s Tuna Salad
Cooking Wiser:
Bluefin tuna is on the endangered list due to illegal overfishing so I recommend yellowfin tuna, a little lower in fat but still a very good tuna.
