Grilled Yellow Fin Tuna Steak

I was at Sydney Fish Market not long ago, and loved the variety of fish on display. I couldn’t leave empty handed, so I grabbed some delicious yellow fin tuna steak. When choosing fresh tuna, choose a piece that smells ocean-fresh and looks glossy. Perfectly cooking tuna steaks can be tricky though as the meat can become dry if cooked for too long. I marinated the steaks and grilled them in the oven (sadly I overcooked mine this time around). This Grilled Yellow Fin Tuna Steak recipe is simple and make for a high protein dinner.
