Grilled tuna with salad – cooking method
1. Prepare the grill by heating it to medium-high heat.
2. Brush the tuna steaks on both sides with olive oil and lemon juice. Salt and pepper them to taste.
3. Prepare the vegetables for the salad. Dice the cucumbers and tomatoes. Cut the red onion into thin semi-rings. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Chop the green pepper and finely chop the parsley (or cilantro).
4. In a large bowl, combine cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, carrots, green pepper and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the juice of half a lemon and two tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well so that all the vegetables are covered with the sauce.
5. Place the tuna steaks on a hot grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks and cooking preference.
6. When the tuna is done, remove it from the grill and leave it for a couple minutes to let the meat rest.
7. Divide the salad into portions and arrange on plates. Place one tuna steak on each plate.
Results
The grilled tuna is ready to serve. Cut the steaks into thin slices and carefully place them on the salad. Serve immediately after cooking to preserve its juiciness and texture.
When you taste this dish, feel the juiciness and tenderness of the tuna, which is grilled. Its outer layer will be lightly fried, adding a nice crispy element. Inside, the tuna will remain tender and juicy.
