Step-by-step
- In the kitchen: Place three layers of paper towel on a food tray. Place the steaks on it and cover with more paper. Let them absorb all the liquid from the steaks. Set aside at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce in the meantime. Peel the clove of garlic, then put all of the sauce ingredients in a food processor and blend for 2 minutes at high speed. Taste and season.
- At the barbecue: prepare the barbecue for direct heat – approx. 200°C. Once heated, place the griddle on the barbecue and let it preheat for 10 minutes.
- Remove the paper from the steaks, brush with olive oil and then place them on the griddle. Grill the tuna steaks for 4-6 minutes turning only once to ensure a crisp crust.
- When the steaks appear brown and crispy on the surface, remove them from the barbecue. Serve the tuna steaks with the sauce on top.
