Grilled Asian Tuna Steaks

Who would resist grilled tuna steaks? Grilling any type of lean meat always yields to a delicious food. And tuna, specifically Asian Tuna, is being grilled? That’s delicious!

Grilled Asian Tuna is highly encourage when you’re undertaking a Paleo diet plan. Tunas are equally well-established as important source of omega-3. Omega-3 have lately been linked with all kinds of health benefits from warding off depression and cognitive decline to reducing inflammation and the risk of heart disease.

If it fits into the budget, buy fresh salmon caught in the wild. Look for bright, firm, orange-pink flesh. When choosing a fresh tuna, choose those that smell ocean-fresh and look glossy. Make sure there’s no rainbow sheen. It’s best to cook and eat tuna on the day you buy it.

Tuna is just a very enjoyable delicacy to eat. Its texture as a seafood is irresistible. I personally love to eat Tuna Steaks. And here, we are talking about a grilled one. Now that I’m thinking about it, I can’t stop salivating and yearning to eat one now.

In Paleo diet, lean meat, preferably seafood meats, is highly encouraged. Tuna, among all the seafood available, exhibits a very good physical composition for eating. A tuna has big meat parts, that’s why it is best for steak making.

Grilled Tuna is just the best! Easy to prepare, fast, healthy, and convenient. The sesame oil and grated ginger give these tuna steaks the tell-tale Asian flavor.  I’ve included tamari sauce (gluten-free soy sauce) in the recipe, but it is easily replaced with balsamic vinegar if you prefer.  This recipe pairs nicely with grilled vegetables.
