Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Ahi tuna steaks
- 1 medium (peeled and cored) Pineapple, fresh
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Cilantro, fresh
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the pineapple into ½-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and soy sauce to make the lime mustard sauce. Set aside.
Pat the ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels and rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
Brush both sides of the pineapple slices with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple starts to caramelize. Remove and set aside.
Place the tuna steaks on the grill and sear for 1–2 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for about 1 ½ minutes per side.
To assemble, place 2–3 grilled pineapple slices on each plate. Top with a seared ahi tuna steak.
Drizzle the lime mustard sauce over the tuna and pineapple.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
