Bacon Wrapped Tuna Steaks Recipes

Steps:

• Wrap each tuna steak with a strip of bacon and secure with wooden skewers or toothpicks. Make the marinade: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Marinate tuna steaks for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange tuna steaks on a baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until completely cooked. Make the wasabi cream sauce: Combine wasabi and reserved marinade in a saucepan over low heat. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil. Serve on the side or drizzle on top before serving.

Steps:

• Take as many bacon strips as you have tuna steaks, and lay bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Microwave 2-3 minutes or until bacon is about half-cooked but still very pliable.
• Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high.
• Meanwhile, wrap a slice of cooled bacon around the perimeter of each tuna steak and secure to itself and to the fish with a toothpick or two. Depending on the size of your steaks, you might have to squeeze a bit to get the bacon to reach around, but a snug fit will hold the fish together when it shrinks during cooking.
• Sprinkle both surfaces of tuna steaks with garlic powder & seasoned salt. Spray both sides lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking to grill. (You can also use a fish grilling grid or basket).
• Grill until fish is lightly browned and bacon is starting to crisp, about 5-7 minutes per side for well-done (I don't like any pink in my fish).
• Note: I use the low-sodium Kirkland brand bacon that Costco sells, and Mazola Pure olive oil spray.

Steps:

• Wrap bacon around tuna steaks and secure with toothpicks (if using).
• Salt and pepper.
• For sauce: Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and heat on medium until reduced by half.
• Sauce should be made ahead of time and can be refrigerated up to one week.
• Sauce can also be frozen and thawed in refrigerator before reheating.
• When warm and reduced, whisk in one tablespoon of butter until melted.
• Spoon some sauce on plate add grilled steak and drizzle sauce over the top.
• Grill tuna steaks 4 minutes per side over hot coals.
